Sir.
Your communication of 29th ultimo has been received.

The Ass't Com'r regrets exceedingly that, on account of not having received instructions to that effect until lately, you were unable to forward a list of the destitute of your County. It is impossible to furnish this assistance now, as orders have been recd from the Commissioner at Wash prohibiting the further distribution of rations to the destitute of this State.

Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
T. F. Forbes
Lieut & AAAG
