   A great portion of the work on the Danville Road seems to be in getting out & hauling cross ties. Is the timber nearest to the road whether pine or oak used, or do you require oak exclusively. Please inform me what is the length of the gap in the road, what number of cross ties can be got out daily with the present force, and about what time there is a prospect of finishing the road.
