Lynchburg Dec 11/64
 
To Capt                 of C. S. A.
 
   The engine John Williams has been in the employment of the State of Georgia, through her legally constituted agents, since the 15th of September past, and has been engaged regularly, when not in shop, at work for Gr and the C States. She is now in no condition to be worked, as reported by Mr Anderson Machinist and in the opinion of Maj Goodwin also. I thereby protest against the use of the EP engine by the C. S. government or any of her Authorities. I further protest against her unlawful seizure by any Authority of the C. S. Government, depriving the State of Georgia, thereby of her work. So soon as she can be repaired or put in order for work, steps having already been taken for that purpose, and must beg to hold them responsible for the act, if indeed it is determined.
A. E Cox  Agt. of Georgia
