Gent.,
   I am informed by Mr Maxwell contractor for building the Bridgeport Bridge {Nashville & Chattanooga RR}, that he probably will be unable to go on with his contract unless he can get 100 tons pig metal from you to make the castings. The Maj Genl Comdg directs you to let him have that amount of metal if possible. If there be any difficulty in the way, be kind enough to let him know it, and he will remove it if possible.
Respy your obdt Servt
