| Captain Wright ordnance officer at Atlanta, Georgia,
has reported to the Chief of Ordnance that the Cap Factory at that place
has been nearly idle, because transportation has not been furnished for
the necessary copper from Montgomery. |
| It is important that this article should be promptly
supplied and you are accordingly instructed to have it transported from
Montgomery, without any delay. |
| The report that transportation could not be obtained
for the sheet Copper was made by Captain Wagner to Capt Wright. |
