Major

            Your note and the prisoner has been received and the Col Comdg directs me to say that he regrets that you should meet with such a reception inside his lines and shall certainly visit the prisoner with such punishment as his crime merits.

 

            If your guard is insufficient to protect your train let him know and he will reinforce you as he does not wish a repetition of the offence

 

            The Col also directs me to say that he would be happy to see you at his Hd Qrs this evening

 

                                                                        Very Respectfully

                                                                                    Your Obt Servt

                                                                                    Harvey Weinedel

                                                                                    1^st Lt & A.D.C.
