I have the honor to enclose the monthly report of rations for March, I do not know wheather thay are correct or not I have drawn them from Judge McGuires report to me Name Age Sex & Coler over all that was given to me. I had to get the sex of the children as near as I could. I drew the rations from Lieut Thompson & turned them over in bulk to Judge McGuire.
