Prattville Jany 9th 1866 Brig Gen Wager Swayne Montgomery Ala Dear Sir, On account of our Macheanry [[machinery]] being so much worn we have stoped [[stopped]] the most of our manufacturing operations untill [[until]] we can get new machinery, which we have ordered, this leaves a number of families out of imployment [[employment]]. They have no means of living only through charity I write this to ask of you whether they could draw supplies from the government. If so we would send no family to you except such as are absolutely in need very Respectfully Yours Daniel Pratt, Pres of Prattville Mang Co
