(119) Sept 9 1865
Howard Maj Genl O.O.
Commissioner &c.

General
I enclose herewith an order with a letter of instructions sent to the Superintendents of the Districts wherein the Lands, set apart by the Bureau are located.

The descriptions as furnished you were obtained by an officer of the Bureau, (a lawyer by profession) from the books of the United States District Attorney.

Receiving orders from your Head Quarters that these Reports were incorrect, I immediately addressed the accompanying letter, marked "A" to the Superintendent of the District in which most of the lands were located. 

This was followed by letters and telegrams marked "B" "C" &c.  The reason assigned by the Superintendent for not furnishing the Report was his inability to obtain a detail of men to go into the country where the lands were located.
 
A Report was furnished which was found for be incomplete and was returned for completion with the letter dated August 9th. No other Report was received before Circular No. 1 from the Land Office was issued. 

I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Sevt
