Howard Major Genl. O.O. (2nd Vol. Folio 69)
31st May, 1866-
Commissioner 

General, 
I respectfully call your attention to the facts that the order assigning me to duty as Asst Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau, gives me jurisdiction over the State of Virginia, and that as Military Commander of the Department of Virginia, I have no command over the Counties of Alexandria, Fairfax and Loudon, nor of the Valley of the Shenandoah, further north then Augusta County.-

I have supposed that my assignment to the duty in The Bureau was in accordance with the policy of uniting the duties of the Department Commander and the Assistant Commissioner in one person.- If such be the case that policy is not fully carried out by the present arrangement, for a portion of the State is within the Department of Major Genl Hancock, and still another portion is within Major Genl Augers
