Sir:
In acknowledgement and reply to your communication dated 22nd Jany
I am directed by the Asst. Comm. to say you will at once collect all the rents due this Bureau, on the Blair property - out of the proceeds you are authorized to pay such taxes as may be due. You will pursue the same action in regard to the Broyle farm.

As to your second inquiry, I have to say that property held by the Bureau as abandoned under act of Congress, approved March 3rd 1865, cannot be sole by the Circuit Chancery
