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 |
