| The new system should not delay the
transportation of medical or other stores nor will it if Post QM &
Railroad officers do their whole duty. Freight trains are always
necessarily detained at Posts long enough to reship on the new coupons
and it is the only certain way to make roads responsible for losses.
"Messengers should still go with public stores until the new system is
thoroughly understood." |
