Return of Clothing Blankets &ca Transfered to Dep'y Storek'r General Child and issued to the Refugee Negroes between the 1st June and 31st August 1818 Inclusive.

[transcriber's note: this is a table. The columns give the numbers of specific kinds of blankets and clothing and under each column, the number of individual pieces is given. There are three lines, each of which describes a date at which one of three kinds of action were taken. The transcription lists first the kinds of clothing and blankets and then gives the three actions and their dates. I have not transcribed the numbers, which are quite legible and impossible to represent in tabular form here.]
