Captain,
On examining the requisition made on [[?]] by Lt. J.H. Pickerns [[best guess]] all or Jany 28th, I find an error in the one vegetable ration - over-estimate. Please therefore to reduce the amount of beans called for by him in both shipments - sending 50 Bushels less than he calls for altogether.
I have also to request that you will have all Flour Bbs head lined - as they are to be transferred several times before [[?]].
I fear my reg. of Dec 29th of which I again sent a copy - was lost - as the Sub. J.J. Taylor which arrived today from [[?]] [[?]].
