Capt A.S. Flagg
A.Q.M. &c

Captain
Your communication asking for women's clothing has been received.  I have investigated the stores and find that there are no women's clothing on hand with Miss Chace, Storekeeper.  She referred the application to Mr. Burgess the representative of the Quaker Society and he referred it to the Hd Qrs of the Association at New York.   The blacks in my own district are in great want of clothing, and would have been supplied first had I not received orders from you.

Very Respectfully
Yours &c
Jno. H. Keatley
