William H. Richardson to John W. Garrett, November 9, 1859

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.
