Gen. HOward's Letter ON RatfOns
TO the Freedmen.
The letter from Gen. Howard, Chief of
the Freedmen's Bureau, to the Secretary OF

Is published. The reasons he gives are that
charges are made that the freedmen are fed
unnecessarily; that the statements made
by Generals Steedman and Fullerton imply
they continue their idleness in expectation
of rations, and the crops are sufficiently
matured to prevent starvation. i- 's.''D''
