General Howard directs that without issuing a Circular on the subject, you modify your order so as to issue provisions to those who are in absolute want, taking care to restrict the issue as much as possible. 
   
You can draw on the Subsistence Dept. of the Army for supplies, and General Schofield has promised to order your requisition to be filled.
