Hon.
Secretary of War
 

   Accompanying this I have your account of Ala & Fla. RR Co. of Fla. For iron taken by officers of the Confederate Government from their road and used for Government purposes, together with receipts of Col Sam’l Tate Lieut Poole and Gen’l D. Leadbetter for the iron embraced in the account. Also an estimate by John T Gilmer Esq. Chief Engineer of North and South Alabama Rail Road made out under the direction of Brigadier Gen’l Leadbetter showing the amount required to restore the road to the condition it was in at the time the iron was removed.

   Being in Richmond for the purpose of a settlement with the Government, allow me to hope that you will cause the necessary steps to be taken to arrive at the result with as little delay as possible.
Your Ovt Svt
O. M. Avery
Prst Ala & Fla RR of Fla
