Dear Sir, |
|
I beg, through this letter to make you personally
acquainted with Hon. Robt Jamison Jr of this State, one of our most
eminent & useful public men. |
|
Mr Jamison is President of Alabama's great internal
improvement work, the North East & South West Rail Road, & goes to Richd
to solicit Governmental aid in its completion because it is a military
necessity. That it is so I do not doubt, but I should waste time in
writing on the subject when Mr Jamison will be present to present the
case assured that every statement made, every promise given, every
expectation held out by Mr Jamison will be realized. |
|
I beg to commend the work to the favorable consideration of
the Department & Mr Jamison to you as a man who is the peer of any man
in Alabama. |
|
Very respectfully |
|
& truly |
|
Robt H Smith |
