Colonel
Enclosed I send you a copy of the circular letter addressed by me to the Judges of Probate in the counties drawing rations from this Dist. I also send a form of tabular statement which I require should accompany every ration return
The statements received so far show a great preponderance of white poor pers over the blacks_ in no case being less than two to one and in some cases being as high as five to one. As soon as these reports are all recd I will send you them consolidated.
