Captain R. P. KENNEDY,

Assistant Adjutant-General:

DEAR SIR: I started for Duffield's yesterday to locate block-house, which has some lumber already on the ground. Was on the train during both accidents, and escaped both times easily, I think, with lame back. I will try it over to-day. Pretty lame, but can walk about.

Very respectfully,

Captain, Fifteenth West Virginia Infty., and Acting Chief Engineer.
