| Mr. W. A. Peed |
| |
| Sir, |
| You will proceed without delay to
Yongesboro, Ala and if necessary also to Montgomery, Aa, and Columbus
Ga. and make arrangements with the Qr Master at either place for he
immediate transportation of lime from Youngesboro to Macon, for the
service of this Armory. One car load per week is consumed, and at least
this quantity should be sent forward regularly. The lime is ready for
shipment and the only difficulty to be removed is that attending the
transpn. You will do all in your power to remove this difficulty in
consultation with the Q. M. and if necessary with the Supt or Agents of
the W. P. R. R. {Montgomery & West Point RR} |
| You will also call on the Q. M. at
Columbus Ga, and arrange with him for the transportation to Macon of a
lot of cast iron ventilators which I have reason to know are now in
Columbus awaiting transpn. I am informed by the Qr. M. in Montgomery
that these castings were forwarded from the latter place on the 20th
Oct. It is absolutely necessary that these castings be forwarded without
further delay and you will not leave Columbus until you see them duly
shipped on the cars. You will show these orders to the Qr Masters with
whom you may nave occasion to confer. The above duties duly performed
you will return to this Armory and report to me in person. |
| I am Sir |
| Respectfully Your Obdt. Svt. |
