September 14, 1864---Quartermasters

SEPTEMBER 14, 1864:    

In Richmond, the Confederate Office of The Quartermaster puts out a call for “ten negro teamsters for the balance of the year.”

Not very far away at all, just outside Petersburg, Daniel Timmons of the 80^th Indiana Infantry is provided with a train ticket home for $2.22; this requisition is approved by the Chief Quartermaster’s Office of the United States.
