My dear sir, I respectfully ask permission to send to my family some five or six barrels of flour. They are in Greene County near Gordonsville, Virginia, and it is a matter of impossibility to get wheat or flour in that county. You will please approve this application and oblige. 
 
Your friend, 
M.C. Stone
 
Address me at Dry Valley, Montgomery County, Virginia.
 
P.S. I am on duty in this county, and my family are in Greene County.
