Sir,
   I enclose herewith an article from a Petersburg paper touching the conduct of one of the employees on the Virginia & East Tenn. R. Road. The article may not be true, yet it is proper, as your road is so important a one on the principal route between the Southern and Northern limits of our Confederacy to bring the subject to your notice, having no doubt whatsoever that you will correct all abuses that may occur on your road.
A. C. Myers, A. Q. M. General
