Letter : Wilmington, N.C., to Col. E. Manigault, 1861 March 8.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37522803

Yeadon reports to Col. Edward Manigualt that he has just arrived in Wilmington (N.C.) and that the powder he was expecting has not arrived. He informs Manigault that he will leave in the morning for Richmond and Petersburg (Va.) and forward "all the rifle powder" as soon as possible, and inquires as to whether the Governor wishes Col. A.G. Hazard (president of the Hazard Powder Co.) to continue making cannon powder. A postscript notes that, since the writing of the letter, the schooner R. Healey did arrive with 660 kegs of cannon and musket powder which will be shipped to Charleston (S.C.) via railroad.
