General

I have the honor to transmit for your information enclosed copy of a letter I have received from the Cor Sec of the Southern Relief Commission of New York and would respectfully request to be informed whether on the arrival of the supply of corn therein promised I shall be authorized to provide government transportation for it from Wilmington to distant points of the State from which as centers of the prevailing destitution it may be issued to the needy.  Such points are New Berne Raleigh Charlotte and others situated upon railroad lines and the County seats of Ansen & Union Counties which have no railroad communication
It will be desirable to use the utmost possible expedition in forwarding these supplies to these points at some of which they will afford very timely relief.

I am General
Very respectfully
