338 663 Headquarters Dist. of Alabama. Montgomery, Ala. Jan. 29, 1868. 339/339 Howard Major General O.O. Commissioner &c. Washington D.C. General: I respectfully ask authority to establish Soup Houses, and to make the necessary purchases of Boilers, plates, spoons &c as contemplated in the late order given upon the Commissary Department of the Army for issue of Dessicated Vegetables &c. But a small expenditure will be necessary as it is proposed to establish these houses only in the large towns in the State, and to place their management as far as practicable in charge of the Benevolent Societies.

Commissioner of the Bureau at Selma Ala, and has under his charge a large amount of Government property. He is a man of good general intelligence, and his long acquaintance with the rulings of the Bureau in his Sub District makes his continuance there very desirable. Very Respectfully Yours Obt. Servant J. Hayden Bvt. Brig. Genl. and Asst. Commissioner 666 Headquarters Dist. of Alabama. Montgomery, Ala. January 30th, 1868. 338/341 Harrison Capt. Robert Sub. Asst. Commissioner Huntsville, Ala. Captain: Your communication of the 26th inst. asking for authority to dispose of certain unmerchantable stores has been received. In view of the small returns that would be received from the sale of the Relief Corn, and the amount of destitution existing in your Sub District as reported by you, it is believed that greater good would result from an issue, it is therefore desired that this Corn be issued to destitutes and accounted for the same as former issues of this kind. Further orders will be given you as to what disposition shall be made of the Bureau Corn and Bacon. By order of Bvt. Brig. Genl. J. Hayden. Geo. Shorkley Capt. 15th Infy. Bvt. Major U.S.A. A.A.A.
