Jos McWhorter Esq
Agent Bureau R.F.&A.L.
Bairdstown.

Sir,
Your communication of 7th inst is received and I have the honor to state in reply, that I have this day directed the Commissary at Chattanooga Tenn. to ship to you 600 rations for distribution to the most destitute people of your County. I forward herewith some blank receipt rolls and Monthly Reports. The receipt rolls must show the disposition of the stores by having the head of family or some one representing it receipt for all stores issued to them. You should require all applicants to produce unmistakable evidence of destitution in order to avoid imposition.

Very Respectfully. Your Obt Servt
Eugene Pickett.
Capt V.R.C.
