War Office October 5h 797

Sir,

I inclose you an order on Mr. Harris for Fifteen Suits of Infantry clothing and Twenty five stands of arms and accoutrements. Be pleased to have these articles forwarded to Lieutenant Shoemaker at Baltimore as soon as maybe he writes that he is much in want of them. ------

I am sir with great respects Your [undecipherable] servant Nn Jones

Received from State Dep't. Nov. 24, 1894 R.P.O. 401310

Samuel Hodgdon Esq

Page transcription complete except for a small amount of undecipherable text that someone else might be able to figure out. Also, I tried to keep the line breaks for the signature block and the State Dept stamp intact but after I save, the line breaks disappear. Do I use the paragraph spacing to keep the line breaks intact? -- Karen 21:55, 17 August 2020 (EDT)
