State of North Carolina,
Executive Department,
Raleigh.

Mr. Wm. H. Harrison,
Hayesville, N.C.

My dear Mr. Harrison:

At present there are no convicts available. I feel the greatest interest in the railroad from Andrews to Hayesville. Your enterprise commends itself to my judgment as a business proposition for the State. If the convicts were here you should have them. They are not here at present. As soon as they are available I will see that you get your proportionate part.

Yours truly,

[unsigned]
