Camp in McGirts Creek, E. Fla
28th Feby 1864
Captain
I wrote you a few days ago requesting that
when there shoes arrived that you would forward them to
Lake City, Fla. I would repeat the request as our men
are entirely barefooted made so by our long marches of late.
I would also ask that you forward invoice + receipts of
all our business — so that I can keep my papers close up
as possible. I will take Capt Peabody’s receipt for
the train myself, so that you will have no trouble
with it. I have a number of train tickets on hand
which I will transfer back to you as soon as possible.
I have left all of my papers etc. behind at Madison
Fla.. I enclose receipt for 21 empty corn sacks
which please credit me with.
The funds for payment for the months of Jany
+ Feby will you furnish me with?
We are daily expecting another Battle + I trust
that we may be as successful, as we were at “Ocean Pond”
on the 20th
Write to me to Lake City
Yours very Respectfully
F.C. Sollie
Capt. + A. Q. M.
