Capt,

I regret that I have not been 
able to write you sooner but for want of transportation we left most 
of our things, in fact all of them in Madison Fla and my books 
& papers among the number as it was not considered safe to bring 
them. Since I have sent for them I have not had time to overlook 
our accounts until today. I send you the blank invoice you gave 
me with a list of articles that I actually re’cd from you -- the 
orders for forage -- were neither of them filled. You furnished me with 
orders in Janry for 2624 lbs corn -- all of which I got. 2094 lbs fodder but 
I could not get but 1170 as it was not to be had. in Feb the orders 
called for 5220 lbs Corn of which we got 3280 lbs. 4567 lbs fodder of 
which I got 1010 lbs. which amts I have entered upon the invoices I send. 
You gave me tickets for 20 cords of wood -- of which I got 12 cords 
and return you tickets for 8 cords -- I got an order on the 7th Feb 
for Ten Company Clothing books. Ten Morning Report books, Ten descrip-
tive books & Twenty lbs Axle grease -- which I had not time to get 
before we left Savannah -- the order I return with this. Please send 
me invoices of the articles I got as per Invoice I will return. And at the 
Same time Receipts which I will sign & return

Yours Very Respectfully
