1866 amounted to 1139. rations while that of Jan 14th exhibited 1362 showing a decrease of (223) rations during the last fourteen days. Those persons who reside here and who depend on the Govt. for support are growing less every week as I make it is my chief duty to provide with suitable employment all those who are able to do something. Rations are issued only to those utterly destitute and unable to work. "Owing however to the peculiar situation of this place, it being the diverging point of four rail-ways, there a number of Freedmen with their families continually passing through seeking employment in the interior, who are compelled to stay over in order to make connection with the various trains, and are while here, thrown on the Govt. for support. Respectfully returned to Geo O. Glavis Chaplain U.S.A. and Asst. Supt. Sub. Dist. Goldsboro - whose more careful attention is invited to the endorsement from this office dated Feb. 10th 1866. It is the cause of the gain during the fourteen days ending Jan 14th over the fourteen days ending Dec. 28th 1865 that he is desired to explain.
