| Sir, |
| I beg to call your attention to the promise
you kindly made, in the President's Office on week since, to furnish
me with a statement of the permission given to the Atlanta Rolling
Mill to work a certain time for Rail Ways. I am anxious to have
evidence of this permission to be used in my arrangements with the
Railways. |
