Sir,
   Under an agreement between the War & Navy Departments, I am authorized to communicate with you concerning certain Rail road iron under your control, to the end that enough of it may be turned over to the Charleston & Savannah R Road, to lay a track or tracks across the Ashby River into this city, deemed necessary for Military purposes.
   A copy of a letter, herewith, from the President of the R Road in question offers an exchange which appears advantageous. I also enclose a copy of Mr Secretary Randolph's telegram.
   The President of the Savannah & Charleston R Road will be instructed to communicate with you on the subject.
Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt
