Major: I have the honor to send enclosed, the estimate of funds necessary to meet expenses of this office, incurred before the assumption of duties by the Asst. Commissioner. I hope they may be remitted as speedily as possible. If the ruins of Confederate works in this place could be turned over to us, we should have a permanent resource, to supply ourselves with needed lumber, clothing, +c. One hundred and Fifty Thousand bricks have already been sold, at Five dollars a thousand, and the demand will continue through the season. The Treasury Agents have control now. I trust you have received my report by this time, if not, please inform me. Very Resp'y, your obt servt. Samuel S. Gardner Asst Supr Freedmen
