Charlestown, November 30, 1859.
John W Garrett, Esq., President, Balt. & Ohio Railroad.
DEAR SIR:—I
have received your dispatch, and am much gratified to
discover that the public spirited action of your company in
the present state of things has elicited so proper and
cordial a response from the Executive of our State.
I have written to
Martinsburg, to caution them against annoying your passengers, and
we regret that any such annoyance has occurred in the case
of the three gentlemen from Ohio.
The gentlemen
referred to, were immediately released by a dispatch from this
place.
I telegraphed
you to-day, and think now every proper arrangement has been made.
Very truly, your
obedient servant,
ANDREW HUNTER.
