Col:
There is a report currently circulated here originating from 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 officers of the Bureau except Montgomery, Mobile & Huntsville

I do not credit the report, but it might have a bad effect, unless true  You will please let me know the truth of the matter by return mail. This I was told by Mr McCad a Lawyer of this city

Respectfully Your Obdt Servt
