Sir
Your communication of 27th Ulto has been received.- The Asst Commissioner directs me to say that he cannot promise to furnish the transportation proposed, as it is not yet certain what arrangements the Government may determine upon with reference to this matter. He can however refer parties coming to this State to obtain labor, to you if you should desire it, and thinks that in this manner you might be able to do quite as much as though furnished with the transportation above referred to. 

Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
