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
