| Dear Captain, |
| I have today shipped: two
{Atlanta &} West Point cars loaded with
coal (the run of the mine) #116, 136 to the Columbus Iron Works --
making five loads in all to this time -- could have had three M&W cars
this morning if I had the order from the Supt for the exclusive right to
use them -- that I wrote you about the other ay -- please forward it as
soon as possible. |
| nothing new here, Army moving-- Provisions
-- Beds and Water, as scarce as ever. |
| Yours Respectfully |
