Dear Sir,
   I have postponed answering your letter thinking the Maj would return soon.
   He may be able to make some arrangement for RR Iron for you, but I am sure he will not consent to having it rolled at your mill, for the simple reason that there are now on file & have been for months large requisitions for rolled Iron which Govt. interest urgently demands. I have inquired at the Arsenal for Powder for you but can get none.
Very Respectfully
James T. Pettit
Capt & Inspt
