To His Excellency
Joseph E Brown Governor
Milledgeville Ga
 
Dear Sir,
   Mr Cuyler received a dispatch on Saturday from E B Walker Esqr Master of Transportation W&A RR, asking in your name, that the Central {(of Georgia)} & So Western RRds would each send an engine & cars to Memphis, to bring away from that place goods belonging to citizens of Georgia.
   I have been instructed by Mr Cuyler to inform Mr Walker (and have do so this day) that both Roads will comply with the request, provided Your Excellency will guarantee us against our trains being pressed into Government service and diverted from the legitimate object of this mission, this object I presume you can accomplish readily by enclosing to myself and also to Mr Powers a paper stating that our trains are in your service, and not to be diverted therefrom.
   Please enclose your answer to me by our train of Monday night to Gordon, where I will meet it, answer Mr. Powers to Macon by same train.
Yours Very Respectfully
Geo W Adams
Genl Supt CRR
