General 
Colonel Willcox desires me to say to you that he has sent an officer to the Union West Va to investigate and report whether it is necessary to station troops there: though satisfied in his own mind that a sensible and discrete Officer alone if stationed there would answer all purposes of troops. If such be established upon investigation can a good Bureau Officer be ordered there? (Union is about thirty (30) miles Christianburg and about fifty (50) miles from Dublin in VA & Tenn R.R. 

Very Respectfully your obed servt
