Sir,
   I am in receipt of your letter of the 23d instant. I submitted it to the Commissary General, and he consents that the further transportation of Rice, Sugar, and Molasses can, for the present, be stopped. Other articles of Subsistence must come forward at once. He adds that the Corn referred to as damaged, will, if unfit for issue, be turned over to the Quarter Master's Department on its arrival When the delay of Government freight is inevitable, you can exercise your discretion and stop the same at Columbia, or even at points beyond.
   I have endeavored to procure the Engine you call for through Mr. Dudley {President, Richmond & York River RR}. He says, however, that he has but one, and that he can't spare.
A. C. Myers, Q. M. Genl.
