| Sir, |
| As only one Train leaves daily on the {Alabama
&}Florida {(of Alabama)} Road -- at two o'clock p.m. you must send the troops from
Macon by your night Train only: this saves a delay of Twelve hours
here. Shew this to the Officer in command -- I don't know who he is,
or would telegraph him directly. |
