Major General.
You will perceive from the foregoing ,that the contract made 
by Mr Middleton with his former slaves, has been approved by 
Maj Genl Howard, and he directs me to request you to see it is observed by both parties thereto. Should any portion of the crop to which Mr Middleton is entitled have been removed, Maj Genl Howard directs me to request youth return the same to Mr Middleton.
I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
