Sir
In reference to the of burning of Gun Carriage Wheels, by the freedmen, is but too true. I have counted twenty four more boxes that had been left near the fires where the wheels were burnt, the Guard at the Machine Works is insufficient to protect the property, there ought to be at least Six Sentries on at all times if not more.
I am Sir
Very respectfully Your
obedt. Servt.
