OFFICE SUB-ASSISTANT COMMISIONER
Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands,
Savannah, Ga., November 11 1865.

Capt. W.W. Deane
Asst Adj Genl

Sir
I have the honor to forward herewith my Monthly Report of the number of Freedmen to whom Rations were issued during the month of October 1865.

The Reports returned for correction were made out from very imperfect records found in this Office. Capt Ketchum was absent and no other Officer remaining in the Office was able to give the information necessary to make a perfect Report.

As soon as Capt Ketchum returns the Report of Abandoned Lands will be forwarded

In future proper and correct records will be kept in this Office, and correct Reports be made.

I am Capt
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
