Dear Sirs,
   We have yours 20 ult. Our Establishment at present is much engaged in manufacturing for the Government and we fear that it will be ?et of ??? to complete the work you require in any manner the ??? unless the War Department would require it to be done as a military necessity. We have one of the Engines under way and the most serious difficulty in completing the whole is in obtaining Boiler plate an article not heretofore manufactured by us but which we expect to be forced to do by the necessities of the Country.
   Cant you induce the War Department to purchase the Engines for you payable in clothing for the soldiers?
Truly
J. R. Anderson & Co.
