Georgia Rail Road

Col. F. W. Sims
 
Dear Sir,
   I trust you will not regard me as troublesome in calling to offer on you for obtaining material or assistance to keep up this Road, and in reminding you that we are in a great measure sustaining the transportation between West Point and Wilmington. We must have Coal to make wheels, and under your order for transportation dated 17th Feb we have obtained a few tons thro the exertions of Mr Timmons of the Firm of ????? who has given his personal attention to the matter.
   My object now is to state that Labor Days, Coal & Platforms are all under the control of the Qr Master, and to ask for an order from the Qr Mas Gen to Qr Mas on the Road from Selma to West Point to furnish transportation for Fifty Tons Coal per month for the Ga R Road, the Road paying for same and the bills to be forwarded to the Qr Mas at Augusta for collection.
Very Respectfully
Geo. Yonge
Genl Supt.
