   It would greatly facilitate his duties, if Col. C. F. M. Garnett Commissioner for the removal of R. R. iron, could disburse Confederate funds to a limited amount. To this end, I therefore respectfully request that he be authorized to give bond to the amount of $5000 (five thousand) dollars, & become a disbursing officer for equal amounts at a time.
Very Respectfully, your obt sevt
