| Dear Sir, |
| On the 26th Sept 3 Barrels Old Copper were
sent to me from Norfolk Navy Yard for Government purposes per Rail
Road, but have stopped somewhere on the route. |
| Will you please inform me if they are in
your Depot & what difficulty, if any, there may be in the way of
forwarding them. An early reply I shall esteem a great favor. |
| Yours respy |
| John H. Scott |
