Jany 9, 1862
 
Col. W. Cothran Prest etc  {President, Rome RR}
 
Dear Sir,
   Your letter of the 1st Inst. To Mr. Walter is before me. I am willing to continue the same contract in 1862 that was in force for 1861.
      To wit “W&A RRd will allow its cars to run over the Rome RRd to ??? best of its ability and without ??? to its own instruct for the year 1862.
      For a rentage of $1200 Twelve Hundred Dollars; cars not to be detained over a reasonable time for unloading & loading. Charges in a/c by monthly installments. But for the future after 1862 I suggest that compensation be made in the way of purposing building exchanged for transportation at Kingston as it will have to be done when Rails waus are extended beyond Rome, and a gradual preparation should not be necessary .
   This contract or agreement to be abrogated by either party on giving ten days notice.
Very respectfully yours
John S. Rowland
Supt. W. & A. RRd  {Superintendent, Western & Atlantic RR}
