| The sugar contract between
Captain Chrisman and Messrs. Loeb and Marx is moving slowly on. The
sugar is brought in quite as fast as transportation can be got for
it from this point. We have on foot a project for transportation
from this place to Crystal Springs over the railroad {the
New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR}, on the few
flat-cars that are left. This will greatly economize transportation,
and I trust there will be no objection made by the railroad company.
If it is decided to be practicable, and they do object, we will
apply through you to General Johnston. |
| Very truly, yours, |
| W. H. Johnston |
