FOR SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI,
Natchez, Miss., January 14, 1866

Lieutenant:--
I am with holding the order restoring to "City Hotel" property, for the present for the reason that one of the parties has obstinately refused to pay me rent. If I give of the property, I will have no way to collect. 

I have notified him to pay on Monday or I will close his store.  Can I seize his property and sell it for the rent? 

Please answer at once.  

Very Respectfully, 
W.M.[?]
