Montevallo Jany 25th '/66

Genl Wager Swayne,

Sir,

The undersigned would be much pleased if you will authorize or order Capt Reid Commanding Post at Montevallo to transport the rations due the destitute families of Jefferson County, to the head of the Central Rail Road, instead of at Montevallo, for the following reasons. From here to Elyton (the County Cite of Jefferson) is 50 miles, from the Head of the Central R.R. to Elyton is fifteen miles.

It would be a great saving if this arrangement could be made.

I refer you to Hon G.T. Deason of the Senate, or Hon John Oliver of the House of Rep. with whom you can confer on this matter

Very Respy Yours &
John C Morrow
Judge of Probate
