| Colonel, |
| I have to acknowledge the rect of yours of
this date complaining that transportation for certain Commissary
Stores belonging to your department has been refused. |
| A letter has been addressed to the
Quartermaster General on this subject; he will, I trust, give without
delay, the necessary order for transportation from Tarboro{,
N. C.} to Richmond. |
| Very respectfully |
