| Dear Sir, |
| There is no Borfs here that
can possibly move cars. It is of the utmost importance to the Govt and
all parties concerned, that one be placed here as early as possible.
Besides this there is now here, Ten Cars which I have instructed Capt
Ross to turn over to you for Shelby Co Iron Works. You must get them
away as soon as possible or Pritchard will steal them and you will
never get them. I must urge it upon you to have them Cnoped ours as
soon as possible. We need them at work. Now, dont delay, let no time
be lost, push this matter through at once, dont let it fail again,
get Ross's order for this number, and send a good man for them, but
above all send and keep a here, there is no telling when it may
be of importance to have it for Govt purposes. |
