Month of February 1865: and the House was taken possession by the Military Authorities, and is now occupied by tenants of the U.S. Government during my absence from the City. Wilson Hamilton of this city was my known, authorized and published agent; and as such agent, rented and collected the rents for said building up to the time of said seizure; Mr Hamilton has remained in the city all the time; All of which is shown by the affidavits attached. Considering all of which I respectfully ask that the building be restored to my possession
Very Respectfully
