| Colonel, |
| Your letter of the 13th
instant concerning the short supply of coke used in the fabrication of
projectiles, has been received, and I am instructed to reply that if the
service of Mr Yendon (recently employed in bringing goods from Richmond)
can be secured, you should send him to the coke and coal mines
{almost certainly meaning northern
Georgia/southern Tennessee} to secure a sufficient quantity and
to arrange with the presidents of the Rail Roads to run one or more
trains through to this city without stopping, to which end also confer
with the Chief Qr Master. |

| Your Obt Servt |
