Captain Ethan A. Jenks signs and completes docket information. Inventory includes bayonet scabbards, Enfield 57.40 Caliber Rifle Muskets, ammunition for the muskets, cartridge boxes, gun slings, and waist belts. This document has a heading at the top saying it is "Form No. 1.--(a.) For the use of Infantry and Heavy Artillery". The document lists the number of each item to be accounted for upon return of the Company, the same as is noted in 02750.432 and 02750.433. The print format is identical to 0270.433. This document is marked as a report for the following quarter as the previous documents, ending 30 June 1863. It appears to be a solely clerical report as there are no updates on weapons or ammunition being used in battle yet. The report is filed from a camp in Mississippi, the specific location is not disclosed.
