Dear Sir,
   Yours with 200 50c notes recd. & I send you back 100$ for them. I doubt if I will be able to get off some that you sent me viz "War Bank." "William Parrott" "Henry Peck" &c but will try. I received our advertisement for change of Schedule to take effect next Friday but not in your hand writing nor signed by you, nor do I know the hand. I therefore enclose it to you to know if it is right. Did you get my letter about the Schedule?
   I sat in Spotswood waiting especially to see Bagby last night until nearly 12 oclock & was very much disappointed at not meeting him. I write to him today through the mail. *****
   Our turn table has completely given out tonight, & Jones Engine is stuck on it half way around resisting the utmost I could do with 15 hands. I shall try it with 30 hands if necessary in the morning. the fact is the flooring of the pit is perfectly rotten, & will not hold the nails through the circle at all. I do not see how it can be repaired without putting in a new floor, even to make it temporarily serviceable.
Very truly 
Travers Daniel
{Station Agent in Petersburg for the Richmond & Petersburg RR}
