| The bearer, Judge James Jackson, is
instructed by me with important business of the State of Georgia at
New Orleans. The military authorities of the Confederate States are
requested to furnish him with any facility in going to and returning
from New Orleans with such material for the State as he may have
with him on his return. This certificate or letter of credit is
given him because the Confederate government how has charge of the
railroads and private persons are often detained by reason of the
necessity of military transportation; but as the trip of Judge
Jackson is connected with the military defenses of Georgia, and
indeed essential to them, I trust the facilities herein asked for
will be accorded to him; especially as I am affording to the
Confederate authorities, not only facilities over the railroads
belonging to Georgia, but giving up to their control the entire
road.
