Sir.
I request that you would have transported to Pittsburg with all [underline: possible dispatch], the articles of clothing contained in the [undecipherable: Schedule] inclosed, the same being intended for the clothing of the Corps of Militia which will be stationed there during the ensuing winter.
This clothing must be sent to the order of Major Craig, subject to the orders of the commanding general.
Permit me to reiterate the idea of the clothing progressing with all possible celerity, even if a greater price be paid for the transportation than will be given in the ordinary mode — They ought to be delivered in fifteen days if possible —
Samki,
Your obedt Servt
