Captain C. A. H. McCAULEY,
Asset Quartermaster, U. S. A.

HEADQUARTERS DIVISION OF THE MISSOURI,

Depot Quartermaster's Office,
ROOMS 606-612 PULLMAN BUILDING.

Chicago, Ill., August 2nd, 1890.

J. H. Martin,

Agent C. & N. W. Ry.,

14th Street & Oakley Ave.,
Chicago, Ill.

Sir:-

Again returning your Original Bill of Lading No 16, Mo Valley to Chicago; I beg to invite your attention to the fact that that bill of lading shows that the property is to be delivered to the Depot Quartermaster at Chicago, Ill., and that there was no authority for delivering the property to the Michigan Central Railway, and to request that, in the future, I may be consulted as to the disposition of any freight consigned to my care.

I will be much obliged if you will show transfer by attaching receipt of the Michigan Central Railway as Bill of Lading can not be had from that Company without their receipt showing that the stores have been delivered to them free of charges.

Your early attention is requested that further complications may be avoided.

Respectfully &c.,

True copy,

[Sgd.] C. A. H. McCauley,

Capt. & A. Q. M., U. S. A.
