| You are relieved from all responsibility here. Gen
Adams says he has been ordered to take charge of these two roads
{New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR and
Mississippi Central RR} & with Col Tate
{President, Memphis & Charleston RR} will complete the work. Col
Tate wants Ford, Johnston & Little to remain until through. Will await
your orders here. |
