I transmit a memorandum of supplies required from Carmargo before the end of the month. This Estimate is reduced as low as is compatible with the wants of the service, and therefore I shall order the depot commissary at Carmargo to forward a larger quantity of rations
The percent minimum estimate will require say 181 wagons.
Very Respectfully

Major,
The train with subsistence arrives on Friday the 3rd inst., I regret much that the G. M. Depot could not furnish transportation sufficient to fill up my former requesition I now send you an Estimate of stores required to be here this month- and you will add 100.000 of all articles except salt to this estimate if there be adequate transportation or complete rations (except salt) to the extent of transportation than can be obtained beyond the minimum estimate. It is desirable to have two months supply on hand here (330 000 rations) if possible and the estimate herewith will place but
200 000 rations on hand on Aug 1st.
If you shall have forwarded the Pork & Rice (100 & 75 [[??]] ) heretofore called for and omitted in last train for want of transportation, then alter this estimate accordingly
Very Respectfully

Transcription Notes:
Even enlarging and using a magnifier, where amounts are written, instead of a "," it appears to me to be a dot or completely omitted, so was transcribed as such.
