In view of the fact that but few of the Officers and Agents of the Bureau on duty in this Sub-Dist are keeping any record of Letters and Endorsements sent from and received at their respective Offices, as ascertained on my recent inspection tour, all Officers and Agents who do not at present keep such records, are hereby directed to open the following books, viz:-

A "Letter Book" for record of all letters sent from the Office._ To save clerical labor, the letters need not be entered in full, but only their date and purport._

A "Letter Received and Endorsement Book". as shown in "Memorandum" on page 4. "Bureau Manual."

Requisition will be made on this office for the necessary blank-books required, when not on hand in the respective offices
