Nashville Octr 5th 1865. George P Beirne Esq- Dear Sir, [[stamp]] The National Archives of the United States [[/stamp]] I wrote to you yesterday but fear that I directed my letter to Huntsville Tennessee. If I did you will not probably receive that letter. I write again. Though living now near Murfreesboro I was luckily in Nashville when your two letters to me arrived here. I presented your papers to Gen Fiske yesterday. He said promptly & kindly after reading your statements that you should retain your property & pay no more rent & that he would send an order to this effect immediately. He said also that the rent already paid should be returned to you, but not by direct & peremptory order but in such a way as not to make an injurious precedent, & in effect he said that you should have full justice & he requested me to write to you so stating. If you should write to me again, direct to Murfreesboro. Yr Truly Edwin H Ewing
