| Major, |
| Please turn over to Capt. W. H. Irwin A.
Q. M. Charlottesville four of the Govt box cars ??? will receipt to you for
same. |
| I would not ask this transfer but Capt.
Irwin is much pressed for wood which I cannot get hauled for him on
flats and to give him a certainty in his supply have promised him four
cars. I will replace these soon, as that you will be only temporarily
inconvenienced. |
| Very respectfully |
