"CirculT No. 25.
''The Major General commanding is in
formed that the impression prevails among
the freedmen that the Government of the
United States will, on the coming Christmas
day, divide among them large quantities of
land, and that in consequence of this impress
sion many of them refuse to enter into CON
tracts to labor beyond that day.
SIN order to correct this erroneous impress

will Immediately detail proper officers and
send them into every county, and, as far as
possible, into every neighborhood within their
several commands, to explain to the freedmen
that the Government has neither the intention
nor the power to meet these expectations, and
to urge upon them the absolute necessity
which exists that they should make proper
contracts to labor during the coming year.
''Oficers will be selected with great care fol
this duty; they will consult with the principal
inhabitants of the location to which they may
