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
