General A. R. Lawton
Quartermaster-General
 
   I desire transportation for 8,000 men from Richmond to Petersburg {Richmond & Petersburg RR}, with the least possible delay {requiring about 160 cars}. One brigade is now on its way to the Petersburg depot, 2,300 strong {requiring about 45 cars}. Please advise me when the transportation can be furnished and the time that the other brigades should reach the depot.
J. Longstreet
Lieutenant-General
