| Sir, |
| Your letter of the 1st. inst. to the
President, respecting the construction of the R. Rd. between Blue
Mountain, Ala. and Rome, Geo. has been referred to this Bureau. Capt. L.
P. Grant of Atlanta, Geo., an officer of the Provl Engineer Corps, has
been selected to represent the Government, and will doubtless give any
propositions emanating from the Company you represent, due
consideration. He is now somewhere on the line of the proposed road and
can be heard of probably at Rome, Ga. |
| Very Respectfully, Your obt. Servt. |
| J. F. Gilmer |
| Colonel, and Chief Engineer Bureau |
