| 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. |
