State of Mississippi
Vicksburg, Miss.

Major,
During my recent visit to Vicksburg, the General Commanding informed me that in future, rations for this place would be drawn in bulk, rendering it unnecessary for any person to proceed to Vicksburg for that purpose.
I would respectfully ask, if that place will be adopted for this month, if not, I have the honor to ask for an order for myself to proceed to Vicksburg for the purpose of drawing Rations for the month of June.
Very respectfully
Your obt. svt.
