| Sir, |
| Your letter of the 10th inst. has been
received. |
| The planters are expected to deliver the
corn at the depots on the Rail Road. The Govt. will neither supply nor
hire the wagons for that purpose. |
| The amount of corn to be received will be
limited by the capacity of the road to transport it. |
