| Sir, |
| You will report to this office, the
arrangements made by you in regard to the delivery of the iron taken
from the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road, to the Winchester &
Potomac Railroad Company, stating particularly whether the
transportation of the iron was furnished by the Government or the
Railroad Company, and if the former, was its cost intended to be
included in the price of fifty dollars per ton, for the iron. You will
also inform this Department what disposition was made of the cross
ties, taken from the Baltimore road. Were they sold to the Winchester
Company, or delivered without being included in the arrangement made
by you? |
