| Dr Major, |
| I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt "pr Southern Express" of one hundred (100) dollars. |
| There has been no coal cars belonging
either to the M&W or W Pt {Atlanta & West Point
RR} Roads here for the last five days. |
| I understand this evening that Mr E. B.
Walker transportation Agt. of the State Road
{Western & Atlantic RR} at Atlanta, (who claims the control of
all cars that may come over his road,) has sent up an order to have the
three first Macon & Western cars that may arrive here loaded for the
College at Macon. |
| Against this order I shall protest in
strong terms, but am not certain it will do any good, as the officers of
Joe Browns Road do about as they please. |
| Yours Respectfully |
| W. H. McDowell |
| Agt. Ord. Dept. |
