This is a Confederate supply requisition for horse forage to last for a ninety one day duration. The supply form itself is an actual Confederate form, modeled after the Union Form 32. Form No. 32 was used to request forage for horses, mules and oxen to include corn, barley, oats, hay and fodder for a specific number of days. The amount of each staple was requested in pounds. This requisition form was for Sipe's Company of Robertson's Brigade of Cavalry, CS Army for ninety one days, commencing the first day of April, 1862 and ending on the 30th of July, 1862 in the Valley of Virginia. The request breaks the request down by day and the total. This form only gives the total weight of corn and hay, per number of horses, per month. The total of 64068 pounds of corn and 74746 pounds of hay was required for this ninety one day period. The form is signed E Sipes Capt commanding. The form states that these supplies were received at Camps int eh Valley the 1st of April, May and June 1862 from Captain William Miller, Assistant Quartermaster, CS Army.

The 12th Virginia served under Colonel Turner Ashby during the time period listed on the form. This time period ended the same month that Ashby was killed, June, 1862. Sipes survived the war, and was captured on 5 March, 1865 at Mount Jackson, Virginia.
