Sir,

Your letter of the 5th inst ??? to hand. The Six Casks of
Whiting refered to in your letter is here. It was shipped from
Charleston as private freight by Mr Eilen, and not as
Government property. I called on the agent of the W&M RRoad {Wilmington
& Manchester RR} this morning in regard to it, he says that
he cannot turn it over to the Government until the Expenses
from Charleston are paid, which amount to $49.10. He says that unless
the freight or expenses are paid here, he will have to forward it to
Wilmington NC as private freight which is double that of the
Government. I have written to Mr. H B. Eilen of Wilmington on the
subject.

Yours Very Respectfully
