Care Maj Hutson Lee

| Your dispatch to the Qr Mr Genl was
referred to me. You may secure all the aid you can for So Ca Road on
the basis of tariff from Charleston to Wilmington which Maj Lee has.
Where is the pressure on the road. Heretofore it has carried more
freight to Kingsville & Columbia than connecting lines could get
away. |
