Rev. R.M. Manly

Dear Bro.
I have just learned on my return to the office that transportation has not reached Miss Nettleton. I ordered it to be sent direct to her from the office at Washington.

But I have today telegraphed to her to start immediately without transportation, and we will collect it hereafter, for we can wait no longer for it. So be of good cheer Bro. Manly. I shall now be in the office and shall push matters.

Yours O [[smeared]]
R.S. Rust
