| Yesterday at eight (8) am an
agent came to me with your written order for flat cars to carry
lumber to Richmond. I put six (6) at his disposal immediately and he
was informed we would take them to Junction at five (5) this morning
but the government hands did not commence loading them until nine
(9) this morning and they will not get off until five (5) tomorrow.
I call your attention to this as the rail roads are often accused of
delays. |
