| A telegram received
from Capt Myers reports track laying as wholly suspended on Piedmont
R. R. for want of iron. |
| Your attention is
called to the matter. I am prepared to discuss with you the letters
recently written by you in regard to the removal of iron from the
Pensacola RR {probably the Pensacola
& Mobile RR} and the construction of the Lawton & Live Oak
connection and would be pleased to see you in reference to them today. |
| Very Respy |
