| I am directed by the Lt Genl
Comdg to say that the means of transportation on the Miss Central R. R.
is by no means sufficient and the transportation of supplies is thereby
greatly delayed. Your attention is directed to this fact, to remedy
which you will request the authorities of the New Orleans & Jackson R.
R. {New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR}
to return the cars belonging on the Miss Central R. R. If they
are unwilling so to do, you will return the cars (a sufficient number)
notwithstanding the dissent of such authorities. |
