Detained at the Ferry, Aug 29, 1862

Washington Augt 29, 1862

Mr. Wade

Dear Sir.

I received your letter this morning stating that Domer [?] was detained at the Ferry. It would be useless for me to see any one here for I presume that Col. Miles has discretionary power in the matter. I have written to him and stated the matter to him fully, how I was situated in regard to it, that I was supplying lime in large quantities to the government etc and if possible to let you pass, and think from my representation will let you pass.
Capt. Vickers is here [?]
Respt.
Wm. H. Gody [?]
