| Do send in the order for the five additional miles of
iron. We have nearly finished hauling the four additional miles of
iron & I fear if
we dont use the engine now we may not be able to get the use of the
trains at another time. I beg your ??? attention to this request I
am informed that there are over thirty miles on the Gulf Road not
disposed of. Please answer if possible today. |
