H'd Q'rs ASST. COM'R DIST OF VA
Bureau of R.F. & A.L.
Richmond, Va. May 3d 1869.

Respectfully forwarded to Bvt. Major Gen'l O.O. Howard U.S.A, Commissioner.
No order has been received at these Head Quarters which affects the status of Gen'l O. Brown as Asst. Com'r, and it is only because no communication has been received from that office for a month past that there is any propriety in the within request for information.
As it is possible that some order or communication on the subjects may have miscarried, it is considered due to the Dis. Officer to forward his request to Bureau Head Qrs
