Harper's Ferry, Dec.
2, 1859.
Gen Taliaferro:
We are desirous to
know the number of troops that will leave Charlestown Saturday or Sunday. If
any we have a train of ten cars here at your disposal to take troops east at a
word's notice which we will require as the engine has to be brought from
Martinsburg. Please give me the necessary notice at all times.
A. P. SHUTT,
Special Agent.
