Sir, |
I have the honor to inform you, since my
last communication, I visited the ironworks and rolling mill at
Atlanta, Ga. {Schofield & Markham}
The proprietor, after a consultation with the director of the works,
found it impossible to undertake the rolling of iron plates, no
other than railroad iron being made at the mill, and it would
require an entire change to adapt the mill to other work.
|
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
|
D. N. Ingraham
|
Captain, C. S. Navy
