| Sir, |
| I have the honor to state for your
information that there will be some little delay in getting the
fifty guns forward for want of transportation. It will perhaps be
to-day week before the last shipment can go from here. I regret to
find that these guns will have to be transferred at Bristol,
Tenn., to other cars {from the
Virginia & Tennessee RR to the East Tennessee & Virginia RR}, by which some further delay will be experienced.
