Dear Sir;
Continual complaints are made to this office that the Agents of the County Comsr discriminate in the issue of rations between Whites and blacks, in some places utterly refusing to issue to the Freedmen.

Will you please notify the several County Judges or their Agents that this must be corrected, and that if complaint of such injustice is hereafter made and substantiated it will result in the suspension of the issue of the County complained of

General;
Col Edwards starts to Washington tonight and I write hoping that he will find you there.

The act of sending down assistance to Mr Comstock at Camden of which I wrote you in my last, seems to have exasperated the people
