My dear General
I know this gentleman well.  He is one of the most active & benevolent Rads here, and you may rely on him to do all & more than he says.  I hope sincerely you will write to him to know where the lumber can be sent & send it at once. I have just returned from Ohio & you must excuse me for not having answered several letters from your dept.

Yrs truly
