Dr. W. J. Hawkins  {President, Raleigh & Gaston RR}
 
Sir,
   After looking at the working of things I have concluded that the State Cotton and Corn at Halifax and Enfield will never be hauled. As it is of the very greatest consequence to the state that both should be got away, I want you to stop the night train and haul the Corn and Cotton, let the consequences be what they may unless it can be done speedily without stopping this train.
Very respectfully
Yr. obt. Svt.
Z. B. Vance
