OFFICE SUB-ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
Savannah, Ga., Dec 11th 1865.

Dear General

I had written a reply to your dispatch and had spoken of several other matters. I read the letters to Mr. [??] and his commissioner Mr. [??] [??] correspondent to the New York Independent they suggested that I write you the inclosed report and that threw you could if you thought best send it to the Tribune with the request that as they had made certain statements about an office of the Bureau - they would publish his reply. Please do as you think best.  I care nothing whatever about it personally, so long as I feel that I have acted and spoken  conscientiously, - I am indifferent about the newspapers and am only anxious to discover the approval of my superiors. 

Yours very truly,
Davis Tillson
Brig Genl A.A.G.
