Respectfully returned - I am reliably informed that Maj Gen Halleck gave instructions to the Provost Marshal dept of this city to deliver the Bones contracted for by Mr Stables in this vicinity to parties claiming them, which were then disposed of by them, since the 21st of May. All bones accumulating in this Dept from the Slaughter [[strikethrough]] House [[/strikethrough]] of Govt: Cattle have been subject to the orders of the Supt. of Freedmans affairs.

The Subsistence Dept has no means of collecting them, but will afford all assistance possible to the Freedmens Bureau.
