| Sir, |
| I herewith enclose you a copy of a list of
articles of Rail Road materials seized {from the
Alabama & Florida (of Florida)} by Samuel Tate, Esqr. Military
Superintendent of Rail Roads by order of General Bragg, and applied to
the use of the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers Rail Road Company,
amounting to $106,208.75 -- and for which that Company desires to pay. |
| You will therefore inform the President of
that Road that you are authorized to receive from him the sum above
indicated -- and for which you will account in your account current as
received from that road, so that in the settlement with the parties
from whom the property has been taken, the Government may know which
Companies have paid for the property thus purchased by them. |
