| Sir, |
| Mr. N. P. Cablett of Staunton Va, who has
a contract to furnish lime to the Engineer Department writes me that he
has about 500 barrels ready for shipment but is unable to get
transportation for it to the city. Will you please direct your agent at
Fishersville to receive it for that purpose if practicable & forward it
without delay as it is needed. |
