Lieutenant, 
The Assistant Commissioner directs me to call your attention to the large amount of rations issued in your district, and requests that a thorough examination be made with a view to a reduction of the amount.
It is believed that a member receive rations who are not entitled; and that a number do not receive rations who are objects of charity.
