I have the honor to invite your attention to a communication of Bvt: Maj: Geo. Q. White, Capt 44th, USA, VR.C, containing statement of clothing belonging to this Bureau, no longer required for issue. Forwarded to you Head Quarters by endorsement of Dec. 24th 1868 from this office with the recommendation that the clothing be turned over to a board of officers named for distribution under my directions.
