CONFEDERATE AUTHORITIES. 351
RicHMonD, April 28, 1864. Maj. R. P. WALLER, Quartermaster, Nassau, New Providence:
Str: Inclosed is the list of shipments of cotton, made via Nassau, referred to in the last communication to you from this office. It was by accident omitted therefrom and is now forwarded.
I regret that you were unable to provide Mr. Sharp with the means he needed, as the same was required for a special purpose. Please send in by the earliest opportunity so much of his order as you reserved the purchase of.
There is likely to be a diversion of some of the shipping which has heretofore gone to Nassau to Bermuda, between the apprehension of parties as to quarantine, and the action recently taken by the Goyernment in chartering certain steamers to go to Bermuda, so as to remove some of the freight which has accumulated at that point. Let the department know as time goes on what effect all this may have on your facilities for shipping. Is freight ever paid on quartermasterâs stores from Nassau in sterling?
You can consign any goods going to Mobile to Major Barnewall and such as go to Charlotte to Captain Crafts, the depot officers at those points. Major Hirsch, at Savannah, will receive anything that may reach that point.
By order of Quartermaster-General :
W. B. B. CROSS, Major and Quartermaster.
Memorandum of shipments of cotton to Nassau, 1863.
