Dear Sir,
   Enclosed you will please find an order for nails. I send this order to you by mail not knowing how badly they are needed. You will see I have been some time getting this far on my way to Richmond delayed by the bad condition of the RR as well as the management. You will therefore please send forward the nails as soon as convenient so as to expedite my return. I will follow and see the freight through ????? and will much oblige.
Yours Respectfully
W O??panous
Ord Messenger Agent Transportation
