This authroity may be either an ORDER FOR SUPPLIES direct from this office, a REQUISITION made in due form, approved by proper authority as per paragraph 1384, General Regulations of the Army, or an ORDER which, from its nature, requires a transfer of property, as when the command of a company or post is transferred from one officer to another. The original order for supplies, requisitions, or order, must be files with the receipt for the property; or when the receipt cannot be obtained in time, then with the certified invoice of the issue. This rule will be enforced in the examination of all returns for the 4^th quarter 1863. At all Armories, Arsenals, and Depots, whether permanent or in the field, copies of orders for supplies from the office, or other orders relating to such transfers, must be preserved in appropriate books.****************************** GEO.

A direct order given by a superior officer to transfer certain stores.
An order which from its nature involves a transfer of property.

In all cases an officer making use of this blank, must insert after the words “in obedience to” at the head of the Invoice, the order or authority under which the issue is made. If an order for supplies, give its number and the year; if a requisition, say “the requisition of (give officer’s name.) of 186 .” If an order, state whose, order, when, and where given. No issue will be considered valid unless the authority is given as here directed.
