Letter
Major-General to Edwin M. Stanton, November 8, 1862
HEADQUARTERS FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Bowling Green, November 8, 1862.
Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War: I respectfully request that Capt. A. E. Strickle, commissary of sub sistence, be ordered to duty in this department, to attend to the breadbaking for the army. I intend to get the flour from the country through which we pass, and thereby save the expense of transportation. Captain Strickle was attending to this business in my command before I left Mississippi, and is not being used by my successor.
W. 8S. ROSECRANS,
Major-General.
