Captain,
   In accordance with your Instructions to me, I have had all the Cars on the Railroad, south of "James" River, belonging to our company, and which, had been in the service of the Government collected. Out of 39 del'd to the Governmt, only 17 have been found -- the remaining 22 have been broken. Enclosed, I send you the account due by the Government for these cars -- and will feel obliged by your sending me a cheque for the amount -- or a Certificate so as to enable me to transfer the amount to the Govn't in lieu of my payments to them for material bought from them. 
   Your prompt attention to this matter -- which closes up -- this matter of cars a/c with the Governmt -- will do a favor to.
Dear Sir
Very Resp yours
Hugh Rice
Sup M. G. R. R. Co.  {Superintendent, Manassas Gap RR}
