Charlestown, Va.:
Your esteemed favor
of the 10th instant, has been received. I feel much gratified by the expression
of General Taliaferro, so obligingly communicated by you, as well as by your
own remarks in connection with the services which it was the good fortune of the
officers and employees of this company to have it in their power to perform in
the cause of good order and safety, and in upholding to the best of their
ability, the laws of a sister commonwealth, in the late emergency.
Rest assured that on
all future occasions, —should any such unhappily occur,—this company will
always be found ready to co-operate zealously with your constituted authorities
to the extent of their appliances, towards the maintainance of the laws.
All arrangements
deemed necessary and proper have been made in reference to the impending
executions on the 16th instant.
J. W. GARRETT,
Pres't.
