| Major, |
| Your letter of the 9th Inst
received, and purport particularly noted: Lt C Selden telegram, in
regard to the missing keg of nails, was, immediately upon its receipt
at this Department, referred to Capt T. R. Sharp, A. Q. M. at Columbia
S. C. to whose care the consignment was shipped, for further
transportation, and who at the time, was not only advised of the
shipment, but also furnished with the receipt of the Agent of the
Charlotte & South Carolina Rail Road Company for the seventy three
kegs nails in good order to be delivered to him at Charlotte Junction.
My whole duty has been performing in the ???, and it devolves
upon Capt Sharp to show what has become of the lost keg nails, or to
report the Road as being responsible for the value of them. |
