Dr General
In Conformity with your instructions I send a Complete requisition for Clothing nine regiments Iowa volunteers. When in Washington I made a partial requisition for two regiments but nothing has yet arrived. If it does, it does not matter, as we are receiving from Iowa several more regiments and the clothing will all be properly applied to Iowa troops
To secure proper safety in my absence I wish the boxes directed to Capt Henry Z. Curtis1 Quincy from whence he can supervise the proper direction to the regiments wherever they may be located.
I am very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
