W. P. Smith, M. of T., Relay House:
In order to insure satisfactory arrangements in your absence, I have decided to retain Mr. Cole in Baltimore.
I have directed the ammunition desired by General Egerton to be furnished from Frederick, and delivered at Monocacy.
If further provisions are needed, telegraph ahead for suitable supplies. Report number of men and progress at each station.
