Sir,
   Your letter of the ___ inst. is recd. enclosing bill for 425 Bushels nut coal supplied to this Armory. The M. S. K. will attend to the payment therefor at once. I regret that Mr. Minor so greatly misrepresents my wants in regard to coal. I am running keep them going. I will see if I cannot assuage with the Supt. of the M. & W. R. R. {Macon & Western RR} to get the use of a car or two and in the meantime if you see any opportunity of sending me a car load I beg you will take advantage of it, as my supply of coal is nearly exhausted.
Respectfully Your obdt servt
Jas. H. Burton
Supt
