| Endorsement on communication from D. S.
Yulee, Presdt Fla. R. R. in reference to the connection between the P
& Ga R. R. {Pensacola & Georgia RR} and S. A. & Gulf R. R.
{Savannah, Albany & Gulf RR} &c he objects to the
consumption of iron from his road. April 22d referred by Hon Secy of
War. |
| Engr Bureau. 10 June 64. Resp'y returned to
the Hon Sec'y of War. The question submitted within has been under
advisement in the Engr Bureau & carefully considered. Genl Gilmer
& Lt Col Minor Meriwether, Engr in charge, were strongly in favor
of the connection East of the Allapoha {the
Alapha River}, principally because the grading was finished
& the line susceptible of more rapid realization. I have
telegraphed Genl Gilmer for his present opinion & will communicate
his reply. The work I believe is under way. |
