I have the honor to inform you that with your permission I intend starting on a tour of the remaining Counties in this Dist in company with the Comd'g Genl, on Monday the 11th inst. The Comd'g Genl as well as myself deem it of the utmost importance that this trip be taken, in order to impress more fully upon the Citizens and Freedmen their duties and relations towards one another under the new condition of things.

Very Respy Your Obt Svt.
