- Description:
- Western and Atlantic Railroad Auditor’s Outgoing Correspondence, 1867-1871
Many of the letters are transmittals of checks to other roads and to the U.S. Government, letters of notification and acknowledgements of payments on bills and drafts. The Auditor was concerned with claims resulting from the Civil War, settlements and accounting of payments to other roads. The correspondence reflects the severe cash flow problems of the railroad, the difficulties in paying connecting roads for freight hauled for the W & A and the stable income from transporting troops and freedmen for the U.S. Army. - External Identifiers:
