Sir, |
There are two locomotive boilers at
Montgomery belonging to Memphis & Charleston R. R. The machinery was
destroyed but the boilers are said to be good. I want them very much to
put in my torpedo boats nearly ready. They are similar to that in which
Lt Glassell made his attack & I am hurrying up to attack the Fleet here.
Please to give an order that I may have them. |
Very Respectfully |
W. H. C. Whiting |
