Col,

On the 11th inst I received from Charleston 922 Sacks
meal for Capt McKinney of Wilmington NC. I have ?? Telegraphed to
Wilmington for transportation {on the Wilmington
& Manchester RR}, but as yet without avail. This meal is in
the Rail Road depot and is being cut by the Rats, and if not removed
soon it will be worthless.
|
I am Col
|
Yours Very Respt

by complaints of this kind . They only tend to annoy me when I am
doing for the Government all I can
