Major 
I have the honor to submit the following Estimate of rations required for the ensuing month  
They may be shipped to the several stations named as we have actg Commissaries at each place. You have been furnished with copies of the orders assigning them. Please forward the rations as soon as practicable as some of the Depots are unsupplied.
There is an increase in the Estimate over last months but I consider it necessary to relieve the great suffering that exists and which is attracting a great deal of attention in the country.
Very Respectfully
Your obdt Svt
