GOLDSBOROUGH, March 30, 1865.
Major-General SHERMAN:
Telegram just received. Let me suggest, at the instance of General
Slocum, that you have a good train guard. A division of cavalry
passed around to the east of us two days since.
L. M. DAYTON,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
NEW BERNE, N. C., March 30, 1865.
General EASTON, Goldsborough:
General McCallum is with me and will be here in an hour. We came
from City Point in the naval steamer Bat through Hatteras Inlet, but
she broke down ten miles below, and I came up in a small rowboat,
and have sent a tug down for the rest. I will be up. I got at Norfolk
twenty-five barges of 150 tons, and five tugs. The best we can do will
be to bring up to Kinston in barges 3,000 tons of supplies and load up
our supply trains there about the 6th of April. In the meantime the
railroad can supply clothing and immediate wants. Make your calcula-
tions to have all our men provided and equipped ready to start for our
next objective by or before April 10. General Grant's army is in motion.
It started yesterday, and I don't see how Lee can refuse to accept battle
at once. We must be ready as soon as possible. Take a minute account
of transportation, so as to divide it out according to effective strength.
When we start I want you and Beckwith to move by water to another
point on the coast I will designate.
W. T. SHERMAN,
Major- General.
