General,
    A letter from you to Sect. of War January 8th in relation to the condition of the Virginia Central Railroad was referred from the Secretary to this office. I ordered Maj. Sims in charge of the R. R. Bureau to make an examination into the matter and now inclose to you a final report from that officer in which I am happy to state that he holds an encouraging view of the condition of affairs connected with that road.
