Quartermaster General's Department
Richmond, 28 Nov. 1861
 
Mr S. D. Watkins
Petersburg
 
Sir,
   In reply to your application for the position of agent at Petersburg to superintend Government transportation, I would inform you that on the appointment of Capt Branch as Asst Quarter Master at that point this duty was devolved on him, with the services of a very good agent provisionally employed in attending to this business {Mason Morfit} were there disposed with. I have not therefore occasion to employ another.
A. C. Myers, A. Q. M. G.
