Colonel.
I have the honor to forward to Hd Qrs. for approval. Estimates for rations for the Quarter commencing Oct. 1st 1865. and ending Dec. 31st 1865.
In making this estimate I have allowed for an increase of 25 per cent. which will undoubtedly come upon the Gov't. for support during the coming Fall and Winter. Gov't. employment is falling off. many, owing to lack of means, have made poor crops. not enough to last till Spring.

I am, Colonel, very respectfully
your obedient servant.
C.B. Wilder
Capt. and A.Q.M. and Supt. Dist No. 9.
