Capt.

I have the honor to report that I find in the hands of Volney Spalding Asst Treasury Agent a lot of lumber which he refuses to turn over to me

Said lumber was formily in a hospital erected by the Confederate Authority  Mr Spalding is converting the building into a private dwelling  I think I should have the lumber or an equivalent in money as I need all I can get to put up a hospittal for the destitute  Mr Spalding wishes for me to hold on until he can hear from Gen. Steedman  I shall stop the building and wait instructions from you wether or not I shall use the Lumber there has been one house turned over by Gen. Stevens which I shall exchange for material for building I will soon have a house which will accomodate a large number of sick.

Very Respectfully,
