In the letter Forney discusses the appropriation of railroad cars and iron tracks from the Alabama and Florida Railroad of Florida, by the Confederate army; the rolling stock will be used by two other lines in the state, because "the demand for transportation over the Rail Roads between this place, and Montgomery will not admit of delay." He directs Tattnall to oversee the removal of iron tracks and the transportation of the cars. Before Tattnall takes the items, agents from the surrendering company are to make receipts for all the material. A transcription is included. |
