Baltimore, November 28, 1859.
J. G. Heist, Winchester, Va.
Every passenger car we have, is fully occupied, and we do not intend to let them be used for taking any persons to Charlestown or Harper's Ferry, except the military of Virginia, whom we will cheerfully accommodate between the Ferry and Charlestown, with your company's permission as heretofore.
I will pass the Ferry on our mail west to-morrow, and would be glad to confer with you if convenient.
W. P. SMITH.
