Postmaster Seeks Shipment or Refund for Hannibal Food Orders
Postmaster J. R. Blackwood of Hannibal has written to St. Louis war department officials overseeing army food distributions, requesting either completion of the remaining Hannibal orders or a refund. Six weeks have passed since orders were placed, with less than a quarter filled and only one shipment arriving four weeks after the first orders. Citizens, awaiting provisions, have urged immediate shipment, and Blackwood warns he may refund money if shipments do not arrive soon. Senators and congressmen have been asked to intervene.
