Dear Sir
   Enclosed please find recpt for Pig Iron delivered to Capt R L Page of the Navy Dept. The weight of the two car loads which I sent you was 28602 lbs (twenty eight thousand six hundred & two lbs) they also wish me to deliver them more Iron both Blooms & Pig Metal, but I will not be able to do it before next week as the R Road {North Carolina RR} is so blocked up with troops that we cannot get cars to take it to the Work Shops; & they can get along with what they have got for a short time.

Yours respectfully
Wm Cooke
Ordnance Agt.
