Captain,
   You must make arrangements to get wood from some else besides Mr Jones. He has a difficulty with the O. & A. RRd Co {Orange & Alexandria RR} in which it appears to me Mr Jones is to blame, but I do not wish to judge between them and therefore intend to have Mr Jones wood where it is and let them settle between themselves.
   Mr Vandergrift assures me that he is ready to haul all the wood on his road that may be wanted where the road has no claim on it. I have forward him a ??? of his road and advise you at once to make your contract with parties not so objectionable.
Very respy
F W Sims
