| I certify on honor that the above is a
correct account of the expenses for material furnished and labor done
rebuilding Trestle Bridge (destroyed by the army over Duck River), in
compliance with an order of Major Genl. Saml. Jones, to rebuild such
Bridges as had been destroyed on the Nashville & Chattanooga Rail Road,
so as to pass trains over them and that the material furnished and work
done were necessary for the passage of trains over the Bridge. |
