Maj. E. C. Simkins
Chief Q. M.
 
Sir,
   The Maj. Gen. Comdg requests you to confer with Capt Baya, Depot Commissary, at Baldwin in relation to the transportation of subsistence stores to this camp by rail {about 15 miles on the Florida, Atlantic & Gulf Central RR}, the present method of wagoning being too hard upon the animals and causing too great wear upon the limited amount of transportation.
I am Major
Very Respectfully
Yr Obt Servt
Wm G. Barth
A. A. Genl.
