Dear Sir,
   We have delivered the 7 1/4 miles of Iron at Gaston & the 1 1/2 miles at Weldon intending for Danville & shall commence the delivery at Raleigh on Monday of the balance on Thursday. Sanford {President, Petersburg RR} will be able to haul it from Gaston. You could take the iron from Weldon for Wilmington. Mr Sumner {Superintendent, North Carolina RR} may be able to take it up {from the Roanoke Valley RR} as fast to Greensboro as they need it {for building the Piedmont RR}.
In haste yrs
