Sir,
|
| I have just received a letter from
General Lee complaining of the serious delays in transportation over
your railroad. You are fully aware of the importance of prompt and
regular communication with the army near Fredericksburg, and I must
request that you will use every effort to remedy the delays reported
by General Lee. |
| Your obedient servant |
