Sir,
   A working party of about (80) eighty mechanics has been collected within the past few days and is now held at the disposition of this Bureau. Please inform me if you can be enabled by the aid of a portion of this force in the repair of your Road, to reestablish communications more promptly than you could otherwise. I will be glad to assist you in a work of such importance.
Yours Very Respy
