Board met this day.
Present:--Col. Chandler and Capt. Rodgers.
After carefully examining the Wool Fleece Underwear submitted by MR.
JAROS, of Chicago, and having read his testimonials in its favor,
the Board begs leave to report that this underclothing possesses
considerable merit and would, doubtless, prove very acceptable to
troops serving in high latitudes.
