   I am here with my leg broken. Inform Genl Polk & say to him I was on my way to ch??ky to make investigation. This road did not have sufficient hands until last Tuesday. The whole road & Track will be in order from Meridian to Brandon in 20 days if the weather is favorable. Roading says the bridge will be complete in that time. The {Mississippi} Central Rail Road will be finished to Canton without delay. Send me some writing material, three hundred Dollars & newspapers regularly.
