John A Taylor Esq
Chairman
Dea Commissioners
New Hanover County

Dear Sir

I have the honor to call your attention to the fact that numerous applications are made to me for the issue of Rations to destitute white and colored persons who are residents of this County and not Refugees.  I have referred these persons to you; as my orders do not allow the issue of Rations in such cases.  If you could make it convenient I would be pleased to see you in regard to the matter.

I am Sir
Very Respectfully
Your Most Obedt Servant
