Colonel
There is a report currently circulated here which is said to have originated with Mr Cruikshank, Agent for the state for the distribution of rations to the destitute, to the effect that he had made arrangements with Genl Swayne for the removal of all military officers of the Bureau in this State except at Montgomery Mobile and Huntsville, and the appointment of Citizen Agents in their stead. 
I do not credit the report but it may have a bad effect unless true. Will you please inform me
