Dear Sir,
   We are greatly annoyed by enrolling officers, both state and Confederate, so much so that I am almost tempted to dismiss all hands and put Engines away until some step is taken to save us from such ??? annoyances, I think the remnant of E. Ten. & Ga. R. Rd men who have stood firm under the trials they have undergone for the last three years should not now be subject to such annoyances. I will not be hasty but await your advise and action but it is too bad to be pulld about and have our men, who are working faithfully day and night for the Govt hauld up at every street corner. We have barely enough men left to man our trains & keep them up. 
Truly Yours
Campbell Wallace  Prest
