The Board of Survey, consisting of Captain Edward M. Carey, 12th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry; Captain Thomas Hayes, 30th Ohio; and 1st Lieutenant Russell Hasting, 23rd Ohio, convened due to Special Orders No. 37, gives the results of their survey of the property lost or destroyed on the march from "Adairs" at the mouth of the East River. The board determined that Lieutenant Robert S. Gardner, Acting Assistant Quarter Master, was not responsible for the lost stores because they had to be abandoned due to lack of transportation. Lists the amount of lost stores including rice, coffee, candles, tea, salt, and vegetables. Written from camp at Flat Top Mountain. With autograph endorsement signed on verso by Colonel Eliakim P. Scammon of the 23rd Ohio stating this report was approved and forwarded.
