Sir,
   I am instructed by Lieut. Genl Pemberton comdg this Dept; to say to you that he desires you to inform parties that no more sugar can be brought to Camp Moore, belonging to private individuals, as it cannot be transported without injury to the public service: owing to the fact that four thousand (4000) additional troops have lately been sent to Port Hudson La. who must be supplied from Camp Moore. These troops have already been on short rations for some time, for the want of the necessary transportation over your road. The General therefore hopes you will give the subject your earliest attention.
Respy &c
J. R. Waddy A. A. G.
