Personal
Head Quarters Department of the Potomac,
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and A. Lands.
Richmond, Va., January 24 1867

Maj Genl O.O. Howard
Commissioner

Dear General
I wish to call your attention to Sec III Article 5. Page 27 of the Officers Manuel [[Manual]].

The Ration established by the Rev. Army Regulations of 1863. was not to continue only "until the present insurrection shall cease" -

As the Army has gone back to the ration established by law and the regulations on the first day of July 1861 I presume the ration as given in the Manuel [[Manual]] may be an error.

Yours truly
O Brown
