Sir,
   It is very important that this Army should be supplied with forage by the Va Central R Road from Albemarle August &c. The Chief Q. M. has gone to those counties to see what supplies can be obtained and to make arrangements for its Transportation to Hanover Junction. I beg that you will give him your cordial aid to the full capacity of your Road. I wish to get down One Hundred (100) Tons a day {13 car loads which is one train}. It can be brought in flats or open cars and I hope there will be no disappointment.
I am Very Respectfully
Your obdt servt
R E Lee Genl
