| It is all important that the
section gangs of the Southern {(of Mississippi)}
& {Mississippi} Central R. Rds
should be ordered down to complete the connexion on the R. Rd to
Jackson. The foremen will go immediately. Will you do me the favor to
order your own gangs down immediately. A few days only will be required.
Please answer. |
