Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.
Office Act. Asst. Com., State of Georgia.
Augusta, Ga. December 25th 1865

General,
I have the honor to forward herewith Account Current with Abstracts and vouchers for Months of October & November 1865 of Captain C. F. Watson Chief Quartermaster of the Bureau for this State.

I have instructed the Acting Sub Assistant Commissioners of this State to close their accounts on the 31st of December 1865, and hereafter Captain Watson will pay all bills connected with the Bureau, and receive, and be responsible for, all funds. I find this course necessary, as few of the officers understand the proper manner of accounting for money, and I desire regularity and system, particularly in this matter.

Very respectfully
Your obt Servant
Davis Tillson
Brig. Genl. Vols.
and A. Asst. Commissioner
