Almy & Company Dry Goods Commission Merchants, 38 Franklin Street Boston, Nov. 11th, 1867. Maj. J.M. Brown, D.O., Bureau Refugees, F. & A.L., Washington, D.C.: Dear Sir, Pursuant to instructions received from Bvt B. Gen'l C.H. Howard Ass't Com's'r we have made purchase of Blankets, Kerseys & Flannels & now forward bills of same. The Kerseys were shipped from N.Y. & we were obliged to prepay the freight. Case #71 contains 10 Blankets selected as samples, but we think they are just a little better than the lot as we bought it. Hoping all will prove satisfactory, we are Yours truly Almy & Company. #50 is represented to be the sample bale by which the lot was bought. We took out 10 as a check on the packers.
