| Sir, |
| In your letter of recent date you inform
me that after the 16th instant, the rates of Government transportation
will be charged by the Central Rail Road and its Branches, and the
South Western Rail Road and its Branches, as prescribed by the Augusta
Convention. |
| I would state in reply that this matter is
now in the hands of Colonel Wadley who may be addressed at Raleigh. He
has authority to make new contracts for the transportation of
Government freight etc, and as far as I am informed he has never
accepted the rates established by the Convention held at Augusta. |
