Sir,
   I have the honor to state for your information that there will be some little delay in getting the fifty guns forward for want of transportation. It will perhaps be to-day week before the last shipment can go from here. I regret to find that these guns will have to be transferred at Bristol, Tenn., to other cars {from the Virginia & Tennessee RR to the East Tennessee & Virginia RR}, by which some further delay will be experienced. *****
I am, very respectfully,
I. N. Brown
Lieutenant, C. S. Navy
