   I regret to learn, from Wilmington, that your Road refuses to send any more cotton for the Government until certain freight is paid. I know nothing of the freight referred to but will have it attended to as soon as brought to my notice. The Government should not suffer at a critical moment like this by a mere dispute with a subordinate Agent about the payment of a small bill.
