Respectfully returned to Mesrs. Reynolds, Lynch & Co with the statement that in a recent interview with Genl Howard it was understood that transportation of Freedmen out of a State would not be furnished except on the recommendation of the assistant Commissioner of said State. Such recommendation cannot be given at this office, since it is not considered either necessary or advisable to send freedmen out of the State
