Major,
   I shipped to your address this day per C. S. Canal Boat "Harmer," viz:
   44 Barrels Beef
     2      "      Tallow
   Unusual delay has from necessity occurred in transportation at this post recently. The Canal has been closed by Ice, & the South Side R. Road for three weeks has been doing almost nothing. You will therefore excuse tardiness. Your Coal shall come forward by first means at my Command.
Very Respy
