General,
   Will you be good enough to inform me whether the Guards stationed on the S. C. RRoad trains when about to leave the City act under authority from General Beauregard and Headquarters? If they do, whether their authority extends further than to examine the passports of passengers? particularly whether they are authorized to exclude Gentlemen from any particular car? & if so whether it is left to their discretion as to whom they may admit & whom they may exclude.
   I request this information because having frequent occasion to travel on the Road I desire to know how far the authority of the Guard extends that I may act accordingly.
Respectfly
Yr obt Servt
