| Sirs, |
| Mr Andrews Frt Agt A&TRRR {Alabama
& Tennessee River RR} informs me that cars have been left
for our lumber, but that no attention is paid to who they are left for
& they are loading for parties in Talladega. Why is it? You should
always load the cars provided by us so that our lumber is taken away.
Our orders should always take precedence of all others, as ?? was
given you to any other lumber, only when our orders were filled. It is
very difficult to obtain cars & when they are sent for ????? them
loaded for us. |
