Sir,
   I have the honor to acknowledge the rect of your communication of this day, inclosing letter from Mr. Geo Wadsworth, & enquiring whether those engaged in the construction of the "Blue Mountain & Rome RR" {the Alabama & Tennessee River RR} cannot be assured of the certainty of getting iron when the grading is ready.
   The duty of ascertaining sources from which iron can be procured for Rail road & other purposes, has been assigned to a Commission who expect to have a meeting in a few days, when they will decide on the subject of your inquiry.
Very respy &c
