NARA 509
Wilmington N.C.
18th Nov. 1868
Sir,
I beg to acknowledge receipt
of your communication of 17th inst informing me that "you have received no instructions from Gen. Howard in regard to the property claimed by me". Will you do me the favor to state whether you have
received any communication from any one, as I am informed that positive orders for the restoration
of the property referred to have been issued by the proper authorities Desiring to ascertain where the
responsibility for the delay rests, I now renew my application for the immediate restoration of the
property, and the payment of such rents as may be due there for.
