Confederate General Morgan expresses approval that Breckinridge will take charge of a Department in South Western Virginia. Writes "am satisfied that you will get recruits from our Old State," (possibly referring to Kentucky, though Morgan was not born there). Reports that his soldiers "are all, as you are aware, fine soldiers, and very anxious to go into Kentucky where they can certainly serve The Confederacy best, as they will, by the invasion of that State, withdraw ten times their number from the Federal Army at Chattanooga..." Relates that the railroad from Danville, Kentucky to Knoxville, Tennessee, will be completed during the summer of 1864. Discusses railroad lines between other cities. Discusses capturing Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, and destroying horses belonging to the United States Government. Hopes Breckenridge will get an order from James Seddon, the Confederate Secretary of War, regarding his command (possibly to invade Kentucky). Complains that his own men do not have horses, and that no commands of large size in the Confederacy can obtain horses. Docketed 25 February by Breckenridge, who writes "Receivd since I saw Gen Bragg this morning and respectfully referred to him, with request to return it tomorrow..." Another docket mentions General James Longstreet.
