Col'o O. Brown
Commr State of Va
Bureau Ref'es &c.

Sir:

I own a tract of Beachland in Elizabeth City County near Fort Monroe, which I rented before and since the war to Mr James Henderson. I have information that the Officer of your Bureau at Old Point or his predecessor has notified my Tenant that this property is subject to his Control. If this be so I respectfully ask that it be turned over to me. 

Enclosed please find my affidavit that I was pardoned by the President of the United States on the 21st of September last, and the affidavit of a respectable Citizen — Mr Ralph Tomlinson, that the land claimed is my property. I also enclose a certificate of the Clerk of the U.S. Court for this District, that the property in question has not been libelled.

I have the honor to be, Col'o,
Your Obt Servant
Joseph N. Anderson
