March 29th
Maj. Gen'l S.A. Hurlbut
Commanding Dept of the Gulf

General,
The Board of Education have been hitherto much straightened for Office room for themselves, clerks, and agents.

I have now obtained convenient Offices, but they are unfurnished.

Upon applications to the Q.M. Dept I learn that they have no furniture. That can be assigned.

I therefore respectfully request permission to buy such office furniture as may be necessary:--the cost not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00)

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
E.M. Wheelock
1st Lieut & Sec'ty Board
