| Col., |
| It will be a month before the
??ll of lumber for the Rail Road Bridge can be furnished, provided the
demand for lumber for the fortifications is not materially increased, as
this demand consumes about as much as can be had. I am endeavoring to
insure the supply to keep the four mills running. |
