| To Gov Joseph E Brown |

| We cannot afford to pass your
trains up empty & ours down empty. You can send trains each way
loaded, we will charge for sixteen thousand (16,000) pounds on each
car each way, if this will be Satisfactory Answer & we will
prepare for it |

East Tennessee & Georgia RR} |

| {On attached piece of
paper} |
| Will you
charge full freight and we furnish the rolling stock, and do all the
work or will you allow us to pass loaded both ways on the terms usual
for use of track. I trust you mean the latter |
