The East Tennessee & Va. RR have two engines belonging to
Memphis & Charleston Road which the company understood they had
purchased through QM Genl CS an order has come from Memphis road for
them & if the engines are moved this road will be of much less use to
the Government instruct me as this road is important to us |
