Colonel,
   Please inform me whether the R. R. Iron recently obtained from the {Richmond &} York River R. R. is now ready for delivery at the {Richmond &} Petersburg depot, or if not, whether all arrangements have been made to secure its delivery with the least possible delay. This object is one of great importance, & I cannot too earnestly impress upon you the necessity of prompt & energetic action.
Yours Very Respy
A. L. Rives
