| Rail Road matters all working well here. Will have
hands plenty this week. You must organize a force to lay the four miles
of track next to Jackson {New Orleans, Jackson &
Great Northern RR}. I will see that this end is put through, but
Ford must remain here to keep the property account & pay off, also want
your surgeon & commissary here now. |
