| Sir, |
| Your telegram of 28th
concludes with these words "would ship more corn but by
orders here to ship other articles shipped yesterday Commissary
corn etc." This reference to "other orders" excites my
surprise, as I have no knowledge of any orders that should set aside
my telegram of 23rd which was in the following words, "Give
preference to corn over other freights until further
orders." Please explain. |
