Chaplain
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st ult. and hope the enclosed order will relieve the District of the many embarrassments under which it has labored- You will at once apply to your District Commander for a detail of Such officers and men as you require to perform the duties of the Bureau in your District; If the application fails forward it at once to these Head Quarters
The order to take possession of the lands Set apart for the Bureau-and to make the report called for, must be obeyed at once - The lateness of the Season will not admit of any delay- Keep me constantly advised of the progress you make, and do not, I beg, allow the 5th District to be the last to be organized- No matter if the officers of the Bureau do excite Surprise among the

natives. I trust they will be more surprised before we are through with them
