The frequent and urgent inquiries made by the Citizens and the freedmen as to whether an assistance is to be rendered them, have induced me to call your attention to the matter. If any help is to be extended, it seems advisable to give it as promptly as possible, as great destitution exists - and no steps to relieve it have been taken either by the State or County authorities.
