| Sir, |
| Expecting to erect for the Ordnance Bureau
of the CS a Laboratory establishment upon a piece of land adjoining your
railroad track and about two miles from the depot in Macon, I desire to
apply for permission on the part of the railroad Company to build a
short branch tract or turn-out said branch track to leave the main road
a little on the Macon side of "the old saw mill" or thereabouts and to
run inside the enclosure of the works. |
| I desire, further to obtain if possible
from the company the free use of two or three dirt or platform cars to
be used in building the branch track, and permission to take dirt from a
cut close by upon the main line in order to make a necessary small
embankment upon the branch. May I request you to lay the above matter
before the Board of Directors at as early a day as possible? |
| I am Sir, |
| Very Respectfully |
| Your obt Servt |
| J. W. Mallet Capt. |
