| Sir, |
| I enclose you the manes of Twenty Five men
who have agreed to furnish Wood, Ties and Timber for the use of this
Road. They will be able to supply one third the quantity necessary to
the Road. |
| In order to make claim on you for as few
as possible I have made contracts with no men who would not agree to
furnish at least three negroes and teams in correspond. I think it
will be necessary to have a detail for one man for every Two Miles of
Road to furnish Wood and Ties. Unless we can obtain this character of
supply our Road must soon become inefficient. |
| As soon as we can select such men as are
able to furnish negroes and teams to keep up the necessary supply I
will forward their names to you and hope that the Govt will take such
action as will enable us to answer its demands for transportation. |
| Yours Respectfully |
