| Sir, |
| I am altogether out of lime and my
bricklayers will have to stop work tomorrow if I cannot get a
supply. My assistant officer, Capt. McMain, has written repeatedly to
the Chewacla Lime Co., Yongeeboro, where I get lime, urging its speedy
shipment, but there appears to be difficulty about transportation. |
| I must urgently request that you will
facilitate the forwarding of lime for this establishment with the least
possible delay. |
| I am, Sir, &c |
| J. W. Mallet, Maj. |
