Dear Sir,
   I send you by next train 2 of wagons bought by Mr. Cothran while down last and 36 Sacks of Salt sent up by Dr. Ligon and 10 Sacks Peas do not know by whom sent as they came in on the Demopolis road {the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers RR} and you probably have been advised by the shipper. 
   Send back the lumber sent up in planking up the cars loaded with corn also the lumber Mr. Cothran used in planking up the two cars he took up some three weeks ago. I cannot get any box cars to ship corn in and must depend on flat cars planked up. Ship the lumber to Farmsdale to Shelby Iron Co. I have bought 200 Bu peas for the Company and will send them up as soon as you can furnish sacks. I am doing my best to get corn and fodder forwarded but find it more difficult than I have ever known it before. Hope to be able to send up several car loads this week.
Yours truly &c
J. M. Zillman
