         You will please report to these Headquarters the actual condition of affairs, in connection with public buildings at Ringgold Barracks and Fort McIntosh, as far as your supervision of the same is concerned.

          You are desired at the same time, to forward any views or suggestions in relation thereto, that be of assistance in the faithful performance of the work.
                                                                                              Very respectfully
