| Major, |
| Owing to the difficulty of obtaining
transportation for the tithe wool, a large amount of which is now on
hand, I would suggest that it be manufactured in this state. If the
Dept should so decide, and you will give me the price you are paying
in Virginia I will ascertain if it can be manufactured here for the
same. The cloth being less bulky than the wool there would not be so
much difficulty in effecting it transportation to Richmond. |
