AHC, LPG 12/1/1864

{The below document is undated, but must have been created about December 1, as Capt. Grant was starting his task of repairing the Georgia RR. The document shows the number of 6 and 7 as page numbers, but the rest of the document has not been discovered. The document is in the Grant Papers. The line of road just below was constructed by gluing numerous pages of letter paper to make a single chart.}
