| Dr Sir, |
| Yours of the 19/20 are at hand. I inserted
your advisements in the ??? & will do all I can to aid you. |
| Maj. Peters has been here & gone. Capt
Isbell has all his orders & money, & will leave by next Blue
Mountain train {on the Alabama & Tennessee
River RR}. |
| The Engineer will take up the Decatur
& 2 cars, as soon as we can get them ready, the A&M RR {Alabama
& Mississippi Rivers RR} are
putting in new flues & making her as good as when they recd her. I
will see to it, for which & many other things, you must remember
me in your prayers. |
| I have got your RR blanks in the press,
& will send them by Express, or by the engine, if she is ready
soon. The freight manifest Book I will get soon as possible. It
requires more running than ever to do nothing these times. |

| Yours Truly |
