Colonel
I have the honor to request that an order may issue from your Hd Qrs requiring me to proceed to Salisbury NC & Return on business connected with the Bureau - 
In December 1866 I purchased fifty Cords wood for Hospital use and the vouchers were paid on my Certificate. I have been unable to procure the proper papers for the Expenditure of this fuel and am therefore unable to make my Returns to the Qr Masters Dept until they are obtained and it will be necessary for me to go to Salisbury during a temporary adjournment of the Court to process them -
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
A. W. Shaffer 
Captain V.R.C.
