Footnote is great isn't it?
Anyway I've assembled some records from a few of the Brigade Quatermasters of Cleburne's division, most of the records are from the 2nd Quarter of 1863, with a few from later in that year and a few more from late 1862. Note the bolts of "English Cloth" being issued, perhaps being sold to officers?
This is a ongoing project, will keep posting more as I find it.
