| Sir, |
| After reading the
correspondence between your Excellency, Adj & Inspr Genl Wayne,
and Genl R E Lee in relation to the Rail Road connection through
Augusta, I felt assured that the important work was in progress, if
not completed. A communication received by me yesterday through Brig
Genl Lawton, makes me apprehensive that it has not yet been commenced.
Believing the connection referred to a Military necessity, and feeling
my responsibility that no means should be neglected by which to keep
up our communication with Charleston, should the enemy cut the C.
& S. Road {Charleston & Savannah RR} your
Excellency will I hope pardon my uneasiness on this subject. |
| May I beg to be informed at
your earliest convenience whether it is the intention of the
authorities of Augusta to carry out your recommendations. |
| I am sir |
| Your obt Sevt |
