Respectfully returned calling attention to Circular No. 10 C.S. enclosed. It is suggested that the order contemplated only the changes of officers, stating whether any had been gained or lost since last report, and if so, how.
The labor to make a new list each month would be enormous. The same will apply to Land Reports &c.

Transcription Notes:
corrections The portion written by Fullerton, which he signed as "Ass't Commissioner", is dated October 23. A source on the Bureau's history in Louisiana says James S. Fullerton was Assistant Commissioner in Louisiana for only 2 weeks, from October 4 to October 18 in 1865. Preceded by Chaplain Thomas W. Conway and followed by General Absalom Baird.
