| Captain, |
| I regret exceedingly to state to you that
I shall be unable to forward any your coni?yers with chassis before
Monday next. At that time 2 . 32 Pdr coni?gen with chassis will go
forward. |
| At this time I have 4 coni?yers and 2
chassis finished with the exception of the machine ??? turning off and
boring out the wheels and Razzers. |
| This part of the work goes on very slow as
I have only two lathes that the Rail Road company {Mobile & Ohio RR} will allow me to use, their own work requires
the balance. However today I have made arrangements with the Master
Machinist of the Rail Road Co to work 2 1/2 hours every night, which
will make one machine work one quarter more effective. *** |
| Very respectfully yr obt servt |
