[Extract.]

Office Chief Commissary of North Carolina, Greensboroa, 2d February, 1865.

Colonel L. B. Northrup, Commissary-General, Richmond, Virginia:

Colonel--* * * “My officers are without funds, and their efforts to secure subsistence are paralyzed in consequence of same. Producers are refusing to sell even at market prices, because they say the Government will not pay. Something should be done by the Treasury Department to meet the drafts which have been passed to their credit at the depository at Raleigh, but for which not one cent has been sent forward to meet same. Outside purchasers have money, and are buying largely, while our officers and agents have to take a ‘back seat’ and await the arrival of funds.” * *

(Signed)

James Sloan, Major and Chief C. S.

Richmond, VA. 1876.
