Cross River, June 22nd in 1871
Gen. O.O. Howard:

Dr. Sir, 
Confer a great favor by sending a copy of the last annual report of commission- or of the Freedmans' Bureau.
 
Very respectfully,
J. Dewitt Miller
Cross River,
Westchester CO,
New York

J. Dewitt Miller

Transcription Notes:
Googled Dewitt Miller, indicated he was from Cross River, New York which is in Westchester County. Very unclear to whom this is addressed. Could be JC Fullerton (From the staff list of the DC office)but the dates don't match. Could also be to Gen Howard but with a strike through or correction made. (Edit: The name is indeed M. L. Howard, with a strangely-written H) another editor: often there is an O.O. Howard in letters
