Col O Brown
Assistant Commissioner
Richmond Va.

Colonel
I have the honor to forward voucher given A.S. Taylor for coffins furnished for burial of destitute freedmen and request your approval and order for payment.  The price allowed is the rate of contract between Mr. Taylor and the post quartermaster here previous to my assignment, and is as reasonable as can be made elsewhere.  I have purchased a hand saw and will hereafter make all coffins needed out of lumber on hand saving of course a large bill of expense.

Very Respectfully
Your obdt Serv't
R.S. Lacey  Capt &
A.Q.M. & Supt R.F. & A.L. 7th Dist of Va.
