| The stockholders of the
Brunswick & Florida Rail Road met yesterday with a full
representation. |

of this Rail Road, upon the terms you named to Dr McDonald and myself. |
| The stockholders elected
unanimously the following board- |
| James F. King |
Wayne Ry |
| Nelson Tift |
A Maury |
| N. Dart Sr |
Brunswick |
| James F. Blain |
Mayor of Brunswick |

Wanesboro |

|
| Today the Board met, and
elected me President and Treasurer, with full power to arrange with
your Excellency the terms upon which the road should be placed in your
charge. |
| If I might be permitted to
suggest I would say, that the sooner hyou take the road, and assume
its direction, the better it will be in a military point of view. We
have neither the means or the credit left to keep it up, and I am now
having its repairs, actually required to pass the trains; done, under
the hope that you will advance the small sums they will require, and
charge to the company. |
| I have the authority of the
Board to sell the Rail Road iron now in Brunswick, for the purpose of
liquidating the debts of the Company. |
| The resolutions of the stockholders and the
Board, will be sent to you at Atlanta. |
| I will to pr?? at Savannah
having heard that you would be there the last of this week. |
| I have the honor to be |
| Your Excellencies |
| obedient Servant |
| Charles A Schlatter |
| Pres: B & F. R. R, Co |
