| |
| To Persons having hired Negroes to work on
the Selma & Meridian Railroad {Alabama &
Mississippi Rivers RR}: |
| Some few persons have sent and
taken their hands off the work without authorization; other have
failed to send hands back or they have run off, or failed to send
other places. The object of this is to ??? all such that for the time
such hands ??? worked no payment will be made by me. The work can be
finished within thirty days if owners of hands will patient and leave
their hands on the work. If they do not do so, they certainly cannot
expect me to pay the time they have worked. |
