Can you send me that? Shall I send you an [illegible] first class mechanic? He will go in to the Setvice only to secure this - Bushnell, Cook & myself have telegraphed the Govr repeatedly upon the subject of this quota - but have obtained no answer - and until <hr /> I can obtain from one of them something sufficiently decisive to satisfy the Bounty Committee, I cannot rely upon fifteen men - The reason of my not reporting progress has been through an entire misunderstanding of one of the Govr dispatches to Bushnell as well as the want of answers to telegrams & letters to Govr & Ajt.
