It being impossible to ration the detatchment of troops with you in Kind, an order has been issued allowing their commutation. I send you enclosed a form for collecting the commutation. It is not possible to send you the blanks at present and you will have to rule them. They are to be made in duplicate and at the end of each month you will make out the first commutation papers from the date the rations of the detatchment expire to the end of that month - the papers not to be made out until the last day of the month. The commutation price is 75 cents per day in U.S. Currency.

The commutation vouchers made out for each soldier, certified by you and receipted by the soldier will be forwarded to the commissary at this place, thro' these Head quarters and will be promptly paid
