General,

Enclosed I have the honor to return S. O. No. 97, restoring so far as any jurisdiction of this Bureau extends over it, [[strikethrough]] [[illegible]] [[/strikethrough]] Steam Engine and Boiler situated in Norfolk Co. I would state that this is the property of the Qr. Mr. Dept., is [borne?] on any returns as such. 

It was transferred to  Capt Flagg A. Q. M. by Capt. Low A. Q. M. in Oct. 1865. I would request therefor that the order be so modified as to make it applicable to Qr. Mr. instead of Bureau property.

I am General,
Very Respectfully
Your obt. servt.
Wm. P. Austin
Capt. Supt. 1st Dist. of Va.
