| Will write you fully our
embarrassed condition about engines and cars {on
the State of Georgia owned Western & Atlantic RR}. I think
you could get them from the Central {of Georgia}
Railroad at Savannah, from the South Carolina Railroad at
Charleston, or from the Memphis & Charleston. |

of Georgia} |
