Dear Sir, -
In reply to yours of Oct. 14th, asking for blanks on which to report the information recently called for by the Commissioner, I have the honor to inform you that suitable forms have not yet been prepared. For the present, therefore, it will be necessary for you to forward that part of your report in a separate form. After the 1st of Jan. the new blanks will probably be ready for distribution.

Very respectfully,
Your obt. servant
S. Willard Saxton, 
Chief Clerk S.D.
