Winchester Va Sept 19th 1865

Col. O. Brown Assist Commissioner
Richmond Va

Colonel
I respectfully request permission to remove my Head Quarters from Staunton to Winchester for the reasons that the most important portions of my District are more accessible from here than from there, and, in my opinion, my duties may be better discharged at this, than that place

Please address your reply to Winchester Va. so that it may be seen whether the mail communications are frequent and regular, and send via Washington

I am Colonel
Very Respectfully &c
W. Storer How Capt & A Q M
Supt Sixth Dist Va
