2 pp, 5 x 8, ALS by Confederate Commissary Agent C.F. STUBBS from Lake City Florida, September 1, 1863, to Major P.W. White AT Quincy, Florida, complaining that “Capt. McKay has not brought or engaged a single beef and says he will not move a peg until funds are placed in his hands.” Stubbs said, Captain Summers “Has no cattle on hand. So you see that the prospects are very gloomy to get a supply of beef for the army of Tennessee from this Section. The season is rapidly passing by and the time growing short for getting beef from this section. Can you now remedy the evil...You have no doubt been informed by Maj. Locke that the demand for beef for the Tennessee army is daily increasing, in consequence of large reinforcements being sent to that point. I am on my way to Capt. Summers and hope to hear from you at Gainesville.
“C.F. Stubbs
“P.S. I have been requested by some of my friends to ask you if you are prepared to make contracts for dried & jerked beef and if so at what price to be delivered at the Railroad in Fla. Please answer & direct it to Quitman, GA. C.S.S.”
