| Major, |
| I beg to inform you that the West NC Road {Western
North Carolina RR} runs to within four miles of Morganton and
personal coupons issued for passage over that road should not have
Morganton marked when the passage should
go so far but the point designated should be "Head of Road." |
| Very respectfully |
| Your Obed Sevt |
