Bragg's AAG requests Battleflags

You never know when some little piece of info is going to help someone else figure something else out. I ran across the following isolated document while crosschecking references to Capt. Wm. A. Violett (benefactor of the Violett Guards, Co. K, 6th LA Inf.), who was a secret Confederate cotton agent in Mobile. This document may be well-known to CS flag experts, so it may be redundant to list it here, but here goes.
