Genl
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 1st November, enclosing Special order No 65.  Together with the communication of O.D. Kinsman Sub Ast. Commissioner at Montgomery Ala. addressed to you, by which you are directed to turn over to the county of Madison the inmates of the hospital at the city of Huntsville, _ in which latter communication it is stated that "in consideration of the valuable property transferred to the civil authorities it is but just that the latter assumes the care of all the inmates without transferring any of them to [[?]]which have not received this special aid"
The subject matter of each of the communications referred to, is of the utmost importance, and I beg to assure you, that I would have replied thanks at an earlier date, but for the fact that I could not do so, without consultation of the commissioners court of the county.
