WM. W. Weisiger to Respectfully returned to the Quartermaster-General, January 26, 1865

ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTER’S OFFICE,

Richmond, January 26, 1865.

Respectfully returned to Major Maynard.

You are aware of the difficulty in procuring wood for the last ten days. I borrowed wood several days to fill requisitions made upon this office and was not aware that any suffering had existed at the prisons. My receipts for the last two days have increased, and trust there will not be any further cause for complaint.

Very respectfully,

Assistant Quartermaster.

Respectfully returned to the Quartermaster-General.
