Capt,
|
| I have to inform you that both
Locomotives on the Houston Tap & Brazoria Road, are so much out of
order as to be unfit for use, and in consequence there was no train
sent over that Road this morning. I have ordered a Locomotive from the
BBB&C Road {Buffalo Bayou, Brazos &
Colorado RR} to be brought from Harrisburg, but have not yet
heard if they will be able to furnish one. |
| Very Respy Yours &c |
