| Captain, |
| Your letter of May 11th has just been
received. A few days since I received a letter from Judge Walker
enclosing the certificate you refer to, and on the 15th inst. I made a
requisition to have $60,000 in 8 per cent bonds placed to your credit
with W. M. Smith, Depository at Selma, Ala. to settle with the Ala.
& Tenn. R. Rd. Co. {Alabama & Tennessee
River RR} |
| The account will be in the usual form,
that is duplicate receipts in detail will be required f the company,
and the funds accounted for in the same way that you will account for
money received from appropriation for Engineer Service. This being
from a different appropriation a separate account current will be
required. |
| Very Respectfully Yours |
