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
