Capt,
   Your letter some time back was received & I immediately went in search of your tin, I found lying in the Petg rail-road Depot 99 Boxes, of which 10 were in bad order, I shipped the 90 Boxes by river & advised you of the Shipment by mail which has never reached you. I made additional inquiries and find that the Barge which contains the tin has not left our Dock yet it not having enough freight to complete its load but will probably leave in a day or two. The RR Co refuses to have the ten Boxes repaired they having received them in their present condition, shall I have them repaired & forward to you
Very Respectly
Your Obt Svt
