Montgomery, Ala.

April 3, 1862
|
|
On and after the 10th of April this Company will not pay
charges on Freight received South of this Road.
|
|
Large quantities of Sugar and Molasses have been detained
on the route from New Orleans for months, and most of it is, from
necessity, much damaged from exposure.
|
|
The Boats and Rail Roads South of this point will not
respond to any claim for damage resulting from delay and exposure -- and
to save this Company and the connecting lines from much trouble and
loss, and to give the owners the opportunity of locating the damage, it
has been deemed advisable to adopt this course.
|
|
In accordance therewith, it will become necessary for
consignees to consign their goods to their own Agent at Montgomery.
