Very Respectfully Your obdt servant Major General Head Quarters Sub Dist. of Alabama Montgomery Ala Feb 8" 1867 385/391 Howard Major General O.O. Commissioner &c Washington D.C. General On the 21st of December last, I had the honor to write to you upon the importance of the passage of a law now pending before the Senate, (House bill No 747.) providing for the consolidation of the land offices in Alabama into one to be located at Montgomery Ala.
