Charles Ellis, Esq., President {President, Richmond & Petersburg RR}
 
Dear Sir,
   My communication of yesterday, should have stated that the same request has been made of the other two Companies between this city and Wilmington {the Petersburg RR and the Wilmington & Weldon RR}, and the object desired is to work the three roads as one corporation.
   This explanation is rendered in order that you may not suppose any distinction drawn against your road, or that any dissatisfaction is felt with your management.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.
F. W. Sims, Lt. Col., &c.
