C. S. Armory, Macon Ga
Dec 29th 1863
 
To Hon Mayor & Council
City of Macon
 
Gentlemen,
   I desire to construct a side track branching from the line of the Macon & Western R. R. at a point where that road crosses Ash Street and passing through Block 50, across Calhoun Street, into the grounds of this Armory.
   Also to purchase from the City for the service of this Armory the fractions of Block 52 x 50, contiguous to Block 49, now owned by the C. S. Govt. I respectfully request that you will inform me, as early as convenient, on what terms the City will grant the rights of way, and sell the land referred to, and as there are questions and details involved which cannot satisfactorily be explained in writing, I respectfully suggest the propriety of your appointing a committee to confer with me on the subject and to whom I can fully explain the requirements of the case on behalf of the C. S. Govt.
I have the honor to be
Gentlemen
Very Respectfully Your Obedt Servt
Jas H. Burton
Supt. of Armories
