| Sir,
|
| You are hereby appointed to go to
Augusta, Georgia, on the 28th instant, then and there to attend the
Railroad Convention, called at the suggestion of Col. W. M. Wadley,
A. A. G., and in conjunction with E. B. Walker, Master
Transportation of the W. & A. R. R. {Western
& Atlantic RR}, to represent said road and to make any
arrangements to carry out Col. Wadley's plans which will not cripple
the working of the State Road.
|
| If the engine and cars, now sent to
Virginia, are delivered over to the R. R. company there {the
Virginia & Tennessee RR}, it must be with the distinct
understanding and agreement on the part of that road that it be used
solely for the transportation of wood for the Georgia interests, and
salt for them to Bristol, in preference to all other uses or
transportation, and that Col. Wadley shall take the train and
deliver it back to the State Road, or its agent, when such contract
is not carried out.
