See M to F. McCoy, 5 October 1865, and F. McCoy to M, 13 October 1865 (in this edition as 65-10-13a).
I have had a space provided for it and thankfully receive it, but I have no Cart, and as your department has I should feel obliged if not inconvenient if you would kindly allow one of your carts to bring it any day before 4 o’clock the carter to enquire for Mr Scherell or Straubel.
Ever My dear Sir &c
