War-date Confederate “Message of the President” 4p. quarto, Richmond, Virginia, February 19, 1863, where Jefferson Davis is transmitting to the House of Represenatives a report by A.C. Myers to Secretary of War Seddon, the “number of quartermasters on duty in the City of Richmond at this time, their rank, and the duties they are severally engaged in...” An excellent informative list follows, including some interesting entries “Langdon, Captian P.H. supplying miscellaneous stores to the troops in the field, and burying the dead...Hill, Major C.D., receiving for General Lee’s army, making horse shoes and nails...” Fine.
