Engineer in Charge
Chocktaw Bluff Ala.
 
Colonel,
   I have asked Genl. Ledbetter by letter to give Mr. C. F. Williams an order to you for as many wheel barrows as we may require, not exceeding 200. In a conversation with you at Atlanta I understood you to say that 200 or a large number could be spared from the works in your charge, and that you could transport the said barrows to the salt works with you teams. For the present I do not wish more than 50 sent, but wish to place the maximum at our disposal upon the order of Amory Dexter, Civil Engineer in charge at the salt works.
   If General Ledbetter give the order, please send 50 of the wheel barrows to the Jackson's Creek salt works.
I am, Colonel,
Your obdt Svt.
L. P. Grant
Capt. Engrs. P. A. C. S.
