| Sir, |
| Your telegram of 21st ulto: to
hand on yesterday, and noted. |
| At present the junction is
clear of corn and of course it will not be necessary for Mr LasSalle's
{General Superintendent, Greenville &
Columbia RR} train to go through to Charlotte; I have instructed him that whenever
one of his loaded trains arrives here, and it cannot be promptly
discharged at Junction, to send it through to Charlotte, so as to
prevent delay. |
| No corn at Junction and very
little at Keysville. |
| Very Respectfully |
| Your obt svt |
| Geo W Grice |
| Maj & QM |
| P. S. ??? waiting the above your telegram
of yesterday to hand which embraces the above news which I had
anticipated. |
