General Bragg desires you to send
straight through to Weldon without stopping as much cotton as is
needed by the commissary department there for its operations. This
is represented to be about 600 or 800 bales a week.
Respectfully,
Archer Anderson
Assistant Adjutant-General
{I can think of no reason for
the Commissary Department to need cotton at Weldon, except for use
in trading through the lines near Suffolk.}
