Title
Absolute Need of a Block of Timber for the Mint
Description
The Director of the Mint has indicated that public business is delayed because the Mint is in need of a block of timber with dimensions that are not readily available. However, a block of timber has been located in the War Department that would suit the Mint's need perfectly. Hodgdon is asked to look into this matter and, if possible, surrender same to the Mint.
