General,
   The Chief Qr Master of the Dept. reports to me that it is absolutely necessary to procure corn for this Dept from some section of the country where it is more abundant than it is here.
   Agents have been sent to Georgia to procure it, and have purchased thirty thousand bushels and have been ordered to purchase seventy thousand more. But they cannot procure transportation.
   I respectfully urge that the matter be brought to the notice of the Supt of R. R. transportation, with orders to provide the transportation if possible.
Very Respectfully
Yr obt Svt
Saml Jones
