1861 May 21 Eufala, Ala

Dear Dent
I wrote to you a few days ago
explaining the Cause why I had not made you[r]
Coat – also informing you that I would
write again to Columbus that Evening - I did
so and this Morning secured an answer
Saying that the parties who anticipated
Manufacturing Military buttons
have not as yet revised their
Machinery – but will this Week
and that I can be furnished
with any quantity of buttons in
a very few days – I will write
to the parties this Evening to send me
the buttons as soon as they are manu-
factured – I hope by the 1st of
the week to be able to send you[r] Coat
down

Yours truly & Respectfully

W. H. Locke
[With the above letter is an envelope 3 ½ inches by 5 inches addressed as follows:
Adjutant. S. H. Dent Warrington Fla

Thomas Robinson Esq
