Respectfully returned to Genl Brown. On account of the limited appropriation the Commissioner finds it necessary to reduce the force of Agents and Clerks in employ of the Bureau. It is necessary also to make a more equal division among the several States. Virginia seems to have its proportion. These appointments are disapproved unless they be made to fill the places of others recently resigned.
