Captain
Herewith I have the honor to enclose, for the consideration of the Major General Commanding, Copy of a Circular which I propose to issue should it meet his approval, and that of Genl Howard Commissioner of this Bureau, to whom a Copy will be submitted.

The evil which this Circular is designed to correct has largely increased within the last few weeks, and unless it can be checked, then, in view of the great probability of a deficient crop in the State, there is reason to anticipate very disastrous consequences.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Serv't
