Dear Sir,
   Your letter of the 17th inst offering this Company the same rates for transportation for Govt. as allowed to N. E. R. R. Co. {Northeastern RR} was received this day and offer accepted, of which I informed you by telegraph. I have obtained a copy of the rates from Mr. Ravenel and will have our bills for January made out in accordance with it, with the understanding that where the N. E. R. R. rates do not provide for transportation, as in the case of special or delayed trains &c. the charge shall be in accordance with the Macon Rates. Please furnish Major Lee with a copy of the rates.
Very Respectfully
Yr. obdt. servt
