Title

Two Teams Travelling to Pittsburgh with a Load of Tents

Description

Major Craig has been notified that two teams will start for Pittsburgh on Monday with a load of tents. During this busy season it was not possible to obtain teams that would proceed instantaneously at a lower price or weight so the urgency of the matter prompted Bedinger to act as he did.

notable phrase

Early that day the teams took in their loads and set out accordingly
I thought it most acceptable to notify Major Craig that by post as well as by the waggons as there would be no charge of postage
have requested him to pay no money as I had advanced them 100$
