Raleigh, Dec. 12, 1867

Gen. N. A. Miles, Asst. Commissioner, &c.
Sir: I have been requested by Thos Goode Tucker, Esq. to call your attention to some understanding which he says exists on the part of the Bureau, to furnish certain articles to some freedmen on his Roanoke lands in the County of Northampton.  I know nothing of the alleged understanding, but simply bring the matter to your attention at the request of Mr. Tucker. He says he thinks the papers relating to the subject are on file in the office of the Bureau in Raleigh.
Very Respectfully
