U.S. District Court,
Alexandria, Va.,
October 12th 1865

Maj Genl Howard
Comr of Freedmen &c

Sir
Since my note of this morning the Marshal has returned & shown me the orders you call for copies of which are enclosed - Similar orders were without doubt served on the Tax Commissioners & since the release of so much confiscated property the property remaining in the hands of the Tax Comrs is of much greater importance to your Bureau than that now in the hands of the U.S. Marshal

Your Obedient Servant
John C. Underwood
Dist Judge
