| Sir, |
| I learn that there is in
Charleston So Ca a sufficient amount of iron, to lay about thirty miles
of Rail Road. It belongs to a Road in process of construction between
Macon & Augusta, Georgia. Can you remove that iron to a safer place &
turn it over to us? |
| There is also iron belonging
to the "Bran Rail Road" in Georgia, in various places along the line of
that road strait way be removed. Can you turn that over also. |
| Very Resply |
| Lewis E Harvie
{President of Richmond & Danville RR and eventually also the Piedmont
RR. The R&D was in the process of upgrading the iron on its road and may
have wanted this iron to finish the project.} |
| {Neither of the roads
supposed to have this iron can be identified from this letter} |
