Major J J Pope
Chief of Ordnance
Charleston S. C.
 
Major,
   I am informed that there are 5 car loads of heavy guns in Columbia that cannot reach here for want of transportation; the Charlotte cars {Charlotte & South Carolina RR}, I am told, are able to haul them, but refuse doing so {over the South Carolina RR}. You will please send an agent to attend to this matter immediately, after consulting with the Chief Quarter Master here & with the President of that road.
