I am authorized to make purchases of fuel for my own use on Government Account, giving an acknowledgement of my receipt of the same, and if not, then, if you can furnish me with fuel?

My position here is Exceedingly uncomfortable on account of the situation in which I find myself placed for I am Entirely without means to discharge the duties of that position.

Will you be so kind when you send me the Blanks &c to dot down a few items of the duties of an Asst Superintendent - I would like to know if the issue of Rations to helpless people has been discontinued or not. I remember what you said upon the subject but I understood Mr Murray to say yesterday that he thought there had been no such issue while Lt Painter was here_.

Praying to hear from you soon
I am Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
James Ashworth
Capt Vet Res Corps &
Asst Supt 4th Dist Virginia
