| Dear Sir, |
| Will you have the box of
tools Mr. Starr put up for me shipped to Montevallo at once; am
needing them. I find that I can go to laying down the iron at once. So
please have it rolled at once. Ask Mr. Edwards if he cant punch a 1/2
inch square hole in the iron instead of a round one if he can will
want the spikes made square instead of round. he will understand to
make allowance for expansion you can call his attention to this. I
will be up Friday to superintend putting in the trestle bents at town,
have Blake & his hands and two or three carpenters at town Friday
also have Burges run the car out with the bents. Hope everything will
be in readiness by up train Friday. |
| Very Respectfully |
| Wm M Wallace |
| You had better have Andrews send the 4
cars for your coal at once as I expect to tear up its road next Monday
or Tuesday. |

| I am writing to Andrews by same mail as
this & will call his attention to leaving the four cars suit for
the Iron works coal. |
