I sent you orders a short
time ago by telegraph to march your own brigade as soon as possible
to the
{Richmond &} Petersburg
railroad depot to take the cars for Petersburg. Your other brigades will follow as soon as transportation can be
procured. Of this you will be notified by telegraph. Supply your
division with three days' rations. Do not wait to cook them, though.
General Lee will give you orders at Petersburg. Use every exertion to lose no time in the shipment of your troops.
