Summary:
Union Chief of Staff Henry Halleck writes General Sheridan in September, 1864, regarding the supply situation should Sheridan advance on Staunton or Charlottesville.


Maj.-Gen. SHERIDAN,
Harper's Ferry:

WASHINGTON, D. C.,

September 28, 1864.

Gen. Grant telegraphs that he expects you will be able to push forward to Staunton or Charlottesville. In that case you can best be supplied by the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, through Culpeper. If not, the railroad to Front Royal should be repaired. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad can be repaired as far as the Rapidan in much the shortest time. Please say which road you prefer.

H. W. HALLECK,
Maj.-Gen. and Chief of Staff.
