| Colonel, |
| I have sent an engine down the road this
morning to take down any guns, ordnance stores, or other Government
property which may have been left at stations by reason of the failure
of cars. The very hard service to which the machinery has been
subjected here, without the necessary shops here, or time to send it
to Mobile for repairs is having the inevitable effect of causing a
great many of the cars to break down on the road. |
| I will be obliged to you to advise me
again of any delay in sending your stores forward, on the ??? of our
agents, and I will take the most summary way of carrying it. |
| Very Respectfully |
| L J Fleming {Superintendent,
Mobile & Ohio RR} |

| We are very much in want of material for brasses. Have
you any block tin or old brass I could purchase? |
