Major, |
|
You will immediately place the Rail Roads in good running
order between Okolona and Cherokee {Mobile &
Ohio RR and Memphis & Charleston RR}, and see that stores are
transmitted without delay. |
|
Can the road from Tuscumbia be rebuilt without detriment to
work on former roads? If so, prosecute the work as rapidly as possible
at the same time. |
