Albin F. Schoepf to Henry W. Wessells, January 23, 1865
HEADQUARTERS FORT DELAWARE, DEL.,
January 23, 1865.
January 23, 1865. Brig. Gen. H. W. WESSELLS, Commissary-General of Prisoners, Washington, D. O.:
SIR: I have the honor to inclose herewith a requisition for 2,000 blankets for prisoners which you ordered to this post. From the correspondence between Generals Vance and Beall the arrangement of supplying their own prisoners seems very distant, and they will suffer if not furnished during the winter season. i
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. SCHOEPF,
Brigadier-General.
