in charge of R. R. Bureau
  
Major,
   My attention has been called by his Excellency, the President, to the supposed fact, that the Virginia Central Rail Road will not be in such condition throughout the coming Winter, as will enable it to meet all the demands that will be made upon it. You are requested to give your attention to this subject, and after examination and conference with the Officers of the Road, to report thereon to this office.
A. R. Lawton, Q. M. General
