Albany Road, I had to furnish her with $2.00 and directed her to a N.Y. Agent who shall give her a R. Ticket to that place.  On the following day the dispatch attached to this item, reached me, to which I gave the answer written on the other side of the Telegraph.  This single case will explain to you the reason why I endeavor always, to transfer people bound to certain places, to other cities, an action which is looked on very unfavorable by the employees of the S.
