Dr Sir,
   Sometime Since at your request I sent Platform Cars to #9 to be loaded with lumber at Wadley Jones & Cos Mill for you. Again on the 1st inst I sent 5 from here and 4 from Macon for same purpose.
   Acting Agent Mayo at Said Station in answer to my enquiry why he had not sent you the cars loaded with you lumber answered under date of 2nd inst as follows= "One of the cars was loaded with lumber for Augusta others are here as old pine received yesterday. Mr Jones is not at work and I dont know why Mr Jones dont ship Capn Cuylers lumber. I think he thought Garey Lumber ha? would haul it." I give you above Statement to you see that I sent the cars and you requested and the fault & delay rests on W J & Co.
   We rarely haul small lots of lumber with our lumber train as its very inconvenient to do so given ??? If a full train load offers (sixteen cars) we often ?? {edge of page missing}
