Sir:

I have the honor to enclose herewith the inventory and inspection reports of unserviceable Quartermaster's Property no longer needed for the use in the Bureau at this Post. It is not necessary at present to replace it.

There are (7) seven mules no longer required. An order to transfer them is respectfully requested. The transfer of the Hospital to civil authority relieves us of the necessity for much transportation. The horses are sufficient and we have the use of a cart.

This will enable reduction in the force of employees and a large decrease in expenses.

Very respectfully
Your Obt. servant
