| Sir, |
| In reply to your application for axes, I
have to say, that if you can pay $28 per dozen for them, I can furnish
you with axes of Panitentian make. If that is satisfactory, let me
know & I will order them for you. |
| Very respect |

| P. S. I have just heard from Genl. T. J. Jackson, who
informs me that the {Virginia} Central RR mechanics cannot be spared at this time
from his command. |
