| We need immediately Engines on the
Piedmont Road. Get from Rutherford road {Wilmington,
Charlotte & Rutherford RR} the best they can send. We
want two from this company. They must be impressed if all appeals are
denied, not an hour is to lost. Col. Sims goes to Greensboro tomorrow
and will arrange terms. |
