General 
I regreat exceedingly the necessity of your telegram of this date calling for Reports of Refugees and Freedmen.
 
I have done all in my power to hasten these reports from Superintendents - the excuse made by them is the frequent change in the officers, making it necessary to send all over their Districts to get these reports in. 

I have notified them that hereafter their delay would be reported at Washington. 

I cannot relieve them from duty as I cannot find as good men to take their places - I believe that the delay hereafter will be less. 

I am General

Great difficulty is experienced in making the Report of Rations received from the Superintendents agree with the report of the Commissionaires, which in part accounts for the delay in the report
