320 July 27 Lieut Geo W Tipton Ast. Supt Sub-Dist of Robeson Co Lieutenant I would call your attention to the necessity of exercising great care in the issue of Rations. You should in all cases request the County Authorities to provide for their poor. [[?]] in no case should Government Rations be issued except to prevent actual starvation and when the persons applying for the same are entirely unable to work and have no friends or relations who can aid them. I Am Lieutenant Very Respectfully Allan Rutherford Lieut Colonel VRC (Bvt Brig Genl. USA) Supt. So. Dist NC
