| Sir, |
| The mills at Atlanta Georgia
offer to supply lumber for vessels building at Charleston & Savannah, if
the Govt will control a sufficient number of Engines & Cars upon the
Chattanooga R Road {Nashville & Chattanooga RR}
to supply the mils with coal from the mines in Tennessee, it is
of the utmost importance in having the work done, that the proprietors
should have this assurance. |
