as set forth in Circular No. 7 dated War Dept. Bureau R.F. and A.L. Wash. D.C. July 2nd 1866 I have taken especial pains to explain all its provisions to the mass of the Freedmen in the Sub. Dist, most of them required time to think of the matter.  I have requested all who are disposed to avail themselves of the offer to give me their names before the middle of the ensuing month

I am very respectfully
Your obedient servant
