General,

It being impossible to comply with that part of Circular Order No. 7. War Department, Bureau R F & A L dated at Washington June 13 1865, requiring that "all estimates of supplies be approved by the Commissioner" on account of insufficient Officers to organize the Bureau throughout the State. I would respectfully ask permission to make such issues as may be necessary to prevent suffering among the Freedmen without the approval of such quarterly estimate until the affairs of the Bureau are organized.
