| Sir, |
| I have this day written to Mr. W. G.
Yongee Supt Clemcla Lime Co. in Yongeeboro, Russell Co. Ala., desiring
him to send me six (6) car loads of lime at the earliest possible day
for use on the Govt. buildings now being erected here, the same being
furnished under contract. |
| Please facilitate the transportation of
this lime by the earliest possible train, as the want of this lime, if
it should be delayed, would throw the hands out of employment and
seriously interfere with the prosecution of the work here. |
| I am Sir, |
| Very Respy &c |
