Is engaged in removing from Balto & Ohio R. R. the Tools, Locomotives, Telegraph wire &c. Wants written instructions with regard to the railroad iron and wire. The Winchester & Potomac R. R. need the iron on the same terms as the Manassas Gap R. R. were offered the tools and engines, that is, payment for it to be made in transportation of troops &c. For a contemplated R. R. from Winchester to Manassas Gap R. R. the iron would be of much value. Asks for military protection in his operations.
