Dear Sir,
   We telegraphed you this morning to aid Mr. Jiter in getting over our timber. We are satisfied if you are fully appraised of the importance of rendering all aid for this matter, you would cheerfully do it. We assure you that we have heavy guns now ready for fortification menaced by the enemy, which cannot go out for want of carriages, and we have tried in every description and cannot get this timber. Whatever assistance you render us in these matters shall be suitably remembered.
   Please see Mr. Jiter and tell him that we have written you on the subject.
Very truly
J. R. Anderson & Co.
