Bureau R.F. and A.L. Hd. Qrs. Supt 2d Dest Petersburg Va Apl 27/66 Resp'ly returned to Mr. Comer "Thro Lt. Burd" attention invited to endorsement of Genl. Brown Stuart Barnes Capt and A.Q.M. Supt 2d Dist. EB 517 properly used by the Bureau the Freedmen. An application was made several months ago, and I imagine it has been misplaced or lost. You are aware how the property was used for the benefit of the Freedmen, and by being so used, prevented me from cultivating it I think I am justly and fairly entitle to compensation and am willing to leave it to disinterested parties to say what should be paid, or settle it in any satisfactory manner proposed. Believing that you agree that I am entitled to pay, the above is respectfully submitted. Yr obt Servt E. Comer.
