Dear Sir,
   I am now authorized to enter into contract with the companies holding charters for a link of Rail Road from Rome Ga. to Blue Mountain Ala. for the complete preparation of the Roadway, and delivery of cross ties for said Road leaving for the present the question of iron rails.
   Considering the work already done by the Geo.& Ala. R. R. Co. between Rome and the state line, I have assumed that the proper course would be to proceed under that charter. If the Dalton & Jacksonville R. R. Co. desire to compete for the contract, and rely upon their own charter please forward from that Board a definite proposition, directed to me at Selma Ala.
Very Respectfully
L. P. Grant
Capt. Engs P. A.
