Major

In answer to your communication of 21st inst relative to distribution of supplies donated by Citizens of Boston the Asst Comr directs me to say that you will purchase the [[underlined]] very lowest prices [[/underlined]] the following articles
1176 lbs of Flour   480 lbs Coffee
600 " [[ditto for: lbs]] Brown Sugar  120 Yds Calico
105 Yds " [[ditto for: Brown]] Sheeting  60 [[ditto for: Yds]] Bleached Cotton

This amount will be equally divided among the ladies of the Committee for distribution. The demand upon the fund being very large the portion assigned to each locality must necessarily be limited and care must be taken that the supplies be furnished only the destitute, sick, aged, and infirm or delicate children. Where the subsistence furnished by the Government fail to provide sufficient nourishment, the ladies are requested to take receipts or such voucher as may enable us to account to the Boston Committee how the distribution has been made.

You will forward the invoice of goods furnished and a check will be sent you for the amount.

Very respectfully
Your Obedt Servt
Jacob F. Chur
Bt Lt Col A.A.A.G.
