Dear Sir,
   We have your dispatch of last tuedays date, and in reply state that we are about resuming the manufacture of wheels, axles, and  will be prepared to ??? your order as heretofore. We dont manufacture Springs. There is a large Manufacturing Establishment for making Rubber Springs here, but the proprietors left for the North when these troubles commenced & have not since returned. We hope that some other parties may again commence Manufacturing soon.
   We are not prepared to manufacture either chilled or wrought iron tires at present but expect, soon to be ready to make the former, which are considered by many as equal to the wrought Iron.
   We have need the order from the Machinery Department for Bar iron which we are making.
Very respectfully
J. R. Anderson & Co.
