The letter reads: "Office Chief Inspector Transportation; Augusta, GA January 25th, 1864; Major W F Hawes Q M (Quartermaster); Calhoun Ga; Major, You will make your arranger to proceed at once to fit up the Factory of Mr L. A. Durands near Atlanta. You had better go at once & inform Mr. Durand that we have decided to take the property on the terms offered & Major Smith will have the contract drawn up and sent up to you to get Mr. Durands signature. Have the seasoned oak measured, the spokes suited for ambulances & wagons, hubs etc counted & the Iron etc weighed. And employ as many hands as you can to put the place in good condition etc in as short time as you can so you can move your hands & stock down at as early a day as possible. I fear we may be compelled to fall back before you are ready if rumor is correct. As soon as I return from Richmond I will be with you & give you all the assistance I can. You understand about the Blacksmith Shop. By Order of Major Arman W. Smith, John W. Green, Capt of Inspectors." 1 image.
