Mr Jno D Whitford
 
Dear Sir,
   Enclosed please find sundry communications
   Hearing nothing from Gov Vance, relative to our train going to Raleigh, I waited its arrival from Wilmington, and then communicated with Mr Sumner {Superintendent, North Carolina RR}, he being about Mr Anderson disputed me that he could answer my enquiry relative to our train, and after waiting for two days I unloaded in the NoC Franchise, Mr A. ??? sent an Engine down to take our cars, and I refused to let them go, unless our own Engine carried them. Large amounts of government freights are arriving daily at Weldon & our trains are all employed on this service.
Respectfully yours
Wm H Harvey {Superintendent, Atlantic & North Carolina RR}
