Major,

From my letter book, I fear there is an error in my estimate of the 4th insl.

The amount should be
  | 60.000 Rations Pork & Bacon (3/4P. 1/4 B.)
  |450.000 "[[ditto for Rations]] Flour & Bread (4/5 F 1/5 B)
  |200.000 "[[ditto for Rations]] Rice
  |350.000 "[[ditto for Rations]] Coffee
  |350.000 "[[ditto for Rations]] Sugar
  |200.000 "[[ditto for Ratios]] Vinegar

[[start page]]

  |300.000 Rations Soap
  |300.000 "[[ditto for Rations]] Salt

Whereas the amount of Flour & Bread is stated on my letter book [[underlined]] 45.000 [[underlined]] being an ovious error, but which, may have been made in my letter sent to you. 

The Flour in barrels has been received in very good order, and you may therefore forward from 1/3 to 1/2 in bbls hereafter taking care to have the hoops tightened and heads lined.

Very Resoectfully
