I have the honor to inform you that I have this day viewed "Special Order No. 84. War Department. Washington Oct 6th 1865. stating that the Northern Counties of Alabama are no longer under the jurisdiction of Brig Gen Fisk, Asst Commissioner, for the States Kentucky & Tennessee, but have been placed under your control & ordering all officers of Bureau, now serving in these Counties to report to you - which I now do.

I am greatly in want of printed forms of contracts and will be greatly obliged if you would order a sufficient number to be forwarded to me.

Very respectfully, your obt sevt.
