| Dear Sir, |
| We have your much valued favor of 4/7
Inst. & much regret the severe disappointments you are
encountering in the construction of your Road & in all human
probability these ??? things must continue for a long time. |
| The Untra Car Factory ??? Va. who we have
been much pleased to ??? your cars has been converted into an
enterprise making implements of War, and this is also true of all the Works in the
State and it is impossible to have any thing else manufactured. Your
work had been commenced and would have been ready by the time for
shipment, but at present it is impossible to complete it; but we know
that whenever we are permitted again to resume operations your Company
will take a liberal view of the question & doubtless permit us to
ship it unless otherwise notified. The writer was advised that there
was a considerable quantity of Rails in New Orleans for sale when he
was there but these are doubtless sold entirely. There are some 700
tons here for sale, but there will not have R. Road transportation so
that it is difficult to say how you are to be supplied with them. |
