Vicksburg, Miss

General:
I would respectfully suggest that the clerks of the county be required to furnish the Bureau of each Sub-District with sketch maps of all of the public lands to be entered under the "Home & Street Act": and also requiring all persons before entering such lands to make their instructions known at the Bureau of each respective Sub-District.
A "General Order" to that effect it is thought will be a check for frauds that may be committed, and will tend to execute the spirit and intent of the law
Very Respectfully yr obt servt
