Major,
It is not thought advisable that Bureau Officers or Agents should attend political conventions.

While it is clearly their duty to advise the freedmen in regard to their political and civil rights under the laws of Congress, it is not deemed proper, that Officers or Agents should become political partisans.

You will see that these instructions are at once promulgated to your subordinates.

By command of
Bvt. Brig. Genl. O. Brown, Asst. Comr.
