| Captain, |
| Yours of the 10th inst was duly recd. The
shovels will be sent as soon as we can obtain drayage. |
| We send an additional number of axes. Can
you spare any, and if so how many? Every Dept. here is pressed to the
utmost capacity! |
| Can you have broken axes repaired in
Augusta? Many of ours have failed. The majority have failed from high
tempered stub. |
