The undersigned, by order of the AQM Genl having examined a lot of wool shipped by Maj Geo W Grice QM at Monroe La, on the 29th Dec 1862, and received by Maj R P Waller QM at Richmond Va, on the 15th March 1863.
99 Bales weighing 55356 lbs gross
subject to a tare of 3%, 1,661 lbs = 53,695 lbs
Fifty three thousand six hundred and ninety five pounds nett.
   The increased number of Bales is accounted for by the fact, that a number of the original bales became broken in the transportation and had to be repacked.
   Agt A P Grice, the special messenger, also states that one bale was lost between Petersburg and Richmond {ie, on the Richmond & Petersburg RR} of which he gives certificates for the QMGenl for settlement with the RR.
