 Brigade and other Commissaries who make sales to officers, will use 
 the money thus obtained to make prompt payment of the commutation 
 of rations due furlough men, or other soldiers whose rations are due, and 
 may, according to the Eegulations, be commuted within their respective 
 brigades or districts, at the rate of thirty-three cents per diem. The ac- 
 counts must state the length of time, date, amount, and circumstances 
 under which the commutation is made, to be certified by the commanders 
 of companies or commissioned officers under whose orders the soldier 
 was at the time the rations became due.

 opportunity to disburse as above authorized, will turn it over to Brigade 
 or Post Commissaries.
