Colonel, |

During the months of November, December and January just
past a lot of flour, 444 bbls, marked D R D and consigned to David R
Dillon Savannah Ga. {line lost in fold of
letter} shipped as ??? freight and Mr Dillon paid all
expenses, but 444 bbls arrived at Augusta on a "Through
Transportation Bill for the Confederate States" such as I marked,
and I presumed, from the fact that Government paid the freight on
them. From Augusta to Savannah the 444 bbls went to Mr Dillon he
paying the expense of transportation between those two points only.
The ??? attending this shipment ??? and to believe that it requires
examination. I know Mr Dillon, and now ??? of his speculative
disposition, and ??? ??? that he holds no position under the
Government. |
|
If you think the matter worthy of an investigation and
can find no one to whom you can ???, I will conduct it.

I remain, Colonel, |
|
Very Respectfully |
|
Your obdt Servant |
