| I recd yours of the 9th yesterday at
Chester. My wagons have not arrived but Capt. Strong kindly
furnished the Ladies with a wagon from Chester to Newberry
{both in S. C., a distance of about 45 miles
by road}. I thought that route best under all circumstances
just now. |
| Yours Respt. |

| This R. R. {Charlotte & South
Carolina RR} should be pressed with the greatest vigor until
completed. 1000 hands should have been on 3 weeks
back. |
