Richmond, June 23rd 1863
 
Maj. James Nocquet Engr's

   Chief of Nitre Bureau sends orders to Capt Finnie to turn over all the iron he can at Duff Greens furnace to Engineer in Charge. For the remainder apply to Maj. Wm R. Hunt, Selma, Alabama. Or perhaps Major Glover QrMaster, can turn over to you the iron at Cartersville. As far as possible, all the old anchor irons of the bridges should be used again -- the balance kept for the Government. Call on Capt. Hayden to assist with Bridges, if you need him. {Probably related to the repair of the Holston River bridge on the East Tennessee & Virginia RR}
