| Sir, |
| I have received from Mason Morfit Transportation Agent,
at Petersburg a letter stating that freight is accumulating at that
point. If so, I desire that you will give the matter your attention. |
| Since your appointment as Asst. Q Master, and location
at Petersburg, there can hardly be occasion for a transportation agent,
and if Mr Morfits position entails any expense, you had better notify
him that he will not be required to act in future. |
