His Excellency
Gov. Jno. J. Pettus

Sir

I applied to Genl. George several days since to have four men (Carpenters) belonging to the State Troops detailed to work in re-building the bridges on the line of our Road—He replied that your order would be necessary for which purpose I now apply to you—

Genl. Pemberton has ordered the Road to be reopened at the earliest possible moment, and we find it im-possible to get Mechanics except by detail from the Army—

The following are the names of those applied for—

S. Pitard—Co K—1^st Regt. Minute men

W. B. Hiser—Co C—4th " State Troops

Geo. Matthews—Co C—4th " "

W^m Pagan—Co B—1st " "

If you will order these men detailed, it will forward the interest of the Road and we think of the Govt.

We need the men immediately and your early attention is respectfully requested—

I am sir your excellency's Obdt Servt
