| Col, |
| Your letter of yesterday was not
received until late last evening. I regret the difficulty in
supplying you with shingles. The whole trouble is in transportation.
There are now ten or twelve thousand shingles at the Arsenal now
which you are welcome to. There are also at the rail road (Arsenal
works near Butler {probably on the South
Western RR}) some 60 or 70000 which are for you as soon as
they can be brought. If you can get cars to go for them any time
next week I will give orders to deliver them to you. |
| If you cannot get cars, I will give
orders to send them up positively by wood train on next Saturday. |
| Yrs very Respectfully |
