Asking that Co: 1st Naval Batt. made up of the employees of R&D RR {Richmond & Danville RR} be exempted from appearing on military alarm without special orders.
Lt Col Sims
 
18 Feb/64. Approved & refd to Brig Gen Custis Lee. It will be of a decided benefit to Transportation if orders suggested by Col Sims can be given. When the local troops are called out there is generally special reason for having RR employees at their post, as extra trains are needed. A R Lawton QMG
