ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Richmond, Va., 9th November, 1859.
John W. Garrett, Esq., President of the B. & O. R. R. Co.
We are sending off
public arms to different points for protection—some of them via steamer to
Baltimore, to go thence by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. May I ask your
particular attention to having them forwarded with all possible dispatch, and
that there may be no delay by reason of non-payment of freight in advance, as
we cannot provide for it in all cases? The Governor will promptly pay all
charges upon your certificate.
W. H. RICHARDSON,
Adjutant General.
