Dear Sir,
   Will you be kind enough to communicate with Col. M. B. Pritchard {Superintendent, Alabama & Mississippi Rivers RR} and Col. Sam. Tate {President, Memphis & Charleston RR}, if you know the address of either, or both, and ask a report of such working tools, say shovels, spades, axes, picks &c. as can be spared from the Uniontown & Meridian connection; with a view to their use on the extension of your line towards Rome Ga. If I had the address of either, this trouble would be spared you.
   Forward, if you think best, a copy of this request. The report to be made to me, if you can, at Selma Ala.
Your Obt. Servt
L. P. Grant
Capt. Engs P. A. C. S.
{The Uniontown & Meridian RR was probably the Selma & Meridian RR; the road to Rome, Ga. was the Blue Mountain RR}
