Sir, |
The public interest suffers great
detriment from the delay of freight and supplies. See where the
detention occurs and take measures to have every thing promptly
forwarded. If necessary send an intelligent agent on the route in my
name. |
I have asked R. J. Owen President of Va.
& Ea. Tenn. R. Road {East Tennessee &
Virginia RR} to remedy the evil on the upper route. Use the
Charleston & Savannah R. R. sometimes. |
