Office Commissary Subsistence,
Richmond, Va., Oct. 16th 1866.

Sir

We have not been informed at this Office as yet that such a Dist. as 9th existed in this Dept, since the discontinuing of the former Numb. of Districts, therefore I am unable to give the name of the issuing A.C.S. as required by your Note.

I believe that the Rations were issued at Winchester, Va. Capt. W.H. Brown, 5th U.S. Cav. com'dg, whose A.C.S. may have issued the Stores.

The Cost of the Ration ought to be as much as here.
Respectfully
A.E. Sherman
Clerk.

Mr. Chas. Spencer
Chf Clerk
Genl Browns Office.
