Dear Sir,
   If you will receive the Cars -- now on the {Virginia} Central and O&A {Orange & Alexandria} RRds at Richmond in just such order as I find them I will consent to have them delivered, but, I cannot assure to deliver them in good order, or collect them, unless you receive them as fast as I get them to Richmond.
   I am willing for a Board of Survey to examine them -- & say -- what it will cost to put them in order & take your receipt, stating exactly the condition of the cars & the opinion of the Board of Survey.
   If you agree to this Telegraph me here & I will put a man to the work.
I remain yours
Th R. Sharp
Capt. & QM
