Wilmington Aug 27th 1863 |
| Maj. F. W. Sims |
| If you have any applications to
make for transportation over this road please address me and not the
Supt. on the Atlantic road. I am at home." |
| Signed, S. L. Fremont |
| I replied by letter that "All
my requests for transportation are made through Major Whitfield and that
I would forward the dispatch to him. I now do so in order that you may
see Col. Fremont and explain to him the well meant instructions of Mr.
Harvey. |
| Yours Respy |
