{East Tennessee & Georgia RR} on Navy dept
for 5% shipping room & asks reference to Sec of Navy |

several requests about this time for shipment of guns from Selma to the
East and this may be the subject of this letter; however, the
involvement of the East Tennessee & Georgia RR makes it likely that this
was about shipping cotton on the cotton trains to Wilmington} |
