Sir,
|
|
I take the liberty of making a special request of you to
permit the transportation of one hogshead of sugar from Humbolt to
Verona on the Mobile & Ohio Rail Road It was bought at Memphis for
the volunteers wives & children in the 3d Police district of said
County & ask permission to transport about 15 barrels of molasses
as bacon is very scarce & they can be fed cheaper on molasses or
at least we want them to have some of both articles I have been
appointed Commissioner by our Board of Police to attend to procuring
supplies for the families of soldiers & they are complaining about
sugar & molasses if you can safely grant the request it will be
remembered as a great favor
|
|
Yours most respectfully
|

G. W. Stovall
