   Enclosed you will find my account against Southern {(of Mississippi)} R R Company. The Negro & Teams were impressed by order of Gen Johnston for the benefit of the RRoad and in their service of the RRoad they were lost. I would now ask you, as they were impressed by the authority of Gen Johnston to aid the Road, you will now use the same authority in my behalf in getting me reimbursed and order Maj Mims to pay the account, and reimburse the Government by stopping the amount from their earning, due for the transportation of Government freight. Maj Mims will not pay the acct. without an order from you & it will greatly oblige me if you will give it your attention.
Very Respectfully
C. W. Dortch
