Brig. Gen. J. A. RAWLINS,
Chief of Staf, U. S. Armies, City Point, Va.:
GENERAL: I inclose herewith a copy of a letter* from General
Sherman from a point twelve miles from Fayetteville, N. C., directing
an expedition to be sent to Florence and Sumterville. The letter
which the general says he sent General Foster from Fayetteville was
dated the 12th of March, and came safely to hand after considerable
detention. The expedition is to start from Georgetown, and would
have been off before now if a heavy northeaster, which is still raging,
had not delayed the concentration of the troops. It will probably
start day after to-morrow for Florence, and will then move on Sumter-
ville, returning by way of the shortest route to transports on Santee
River. I most heartily approve and shall cordially carry out in good
faith the views of General Sherman and the orders of the lieutenant-
general in regard to the reduction to the minimum of the garrisons on
this coast. Between 800 and 900 of the 5,000 white troops which I
ordered to go to North Carolina I shall detain until the expedition
returns.
I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
