| I have ordered the agent, Saml Tate, not
to take the iron unless it is absolutely necessary. At this distance
I cannot determine the question and must necessarily confide
something to the discretion of agents. Of course the Company will be
amply indemnified if the iron should be taken. |

the removal of iron from the Alabama & Florida (of Florida) RR
for the use on the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers RR} |
