Colonel

I have the honor to inform you in regard to the Boiler, Engine &c near Drewrys Bluff, the sale of which is ordered stopped, that it was turned over to me by Col Loomis Treas Ag't. that he had not taken it up and therefore did not require a receipt for the same. I took it up thus on my papers. 

The wheels at Farmville were received in like manner from the same source, but have never been taken up on my papers

Respectfully submitting for your information I have the honor to be Col,

Very Resp'y Your Ob't Sv't
