Natchez February 16^th 1863.

Hon: John, J, Pettus

Dear Sir

Your commission in reference to getting Teams from the Counties of Adams, Wilkinson & Franklin for ^the^ purpose of hauling Salt, has been received. I have taken no Steps as yet to secure the teams, inasmuch as I have thought it was imposs=ible to use them for some time to come, owing to the condition of the roads, and other circum=stances. When you mentioned this matter to me, I spoke of Jefferson County being associated with Adams and Wilkinson. If you have not added Jefferson and Amite to any other list, and will commission me, I will un=dertake to attend to those counties, which will give me five, in which, I think I can raise at least 50 teams—Please let me hear from you about the time you want the teams to move, and I will give the matter immediate attention.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant

A, K, Farrar
