Kinsman and to say that the same has been mislaid which accounts for the answering it. In relation to your procuring supplies for issue to the destitute from merchants in Mobile on your personal responsibility, said supplies to be replaced or paid for from what you term the regular supplies which you expected should have reached you at an earlier day. The General wishes me to say that hereafter no such action will be approved. Every effort will be made to furnish the amount of supplies authorized without unnecessary delay.
