Bvt. Major General C. GROVER,

Savannah, Ga.:

GENERAL: This will be handed to you, together with estimated for supplies, by Lieutenant Woodruff, acting commissary of subsistence. I have chartered the steamer Comet, and will make similar terms with another boat now on the Oconee. Until the Atlanta and Chattanooga Railroad can be repaired I shall be compelled to depend upon Savannah for small stores, camp and garrison equipage, and clothing. If you will direct steamers to meet my boats at Darien with such cargoes as my supply departments may require, a safe and expeditious line can be opened. Lieutenant Woodruff will explain fully the whole matter, and is authorized to act for both quartermaster's and commissary departments. Please give him such assistance as he may need, and hurry his back to this place. A number of wounded officers from my command also take passage on the Comet. They are desirous of reaching home as speedily as possible. Please assist them in getting North.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. H. WILSON,

Brevet Major-General.
