Confederate Supply Requisition to "Authorities of Carlisle"

As Confederate forces enter Carlisle, Pennsylvania in late June 1863, Major John A. Harman, Chief Quartermaster with the Second Army Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, under the command of General Richard S. Ewell, issues a requisition to the "authorities of Carlisle Pa." for supplies. The list includes clothing and leather soles for shoes, grain, horse shoes and nails, as well as the use of a local printing press and the service of two printers. An accompanying letter indicates that "Uncle Charlie" acquired this document for his nephew, Freddy G. Vaux, while at the Great Central Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia in June 1864. Transcript included.
