Sir, the troops in Fla. have, until lately, been supplied with antiscorbutics. The Med. Offr recommended it, and the men had no opportunity of buying or raising fresh vegetables

But since the troops have been fixed, I have no longer required or distributed extra articles

The few articles remaining on hand I propose to issue as reported in my letter of July 27th. and I hope this course will meet the approbation of the Dept.
