Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & A Lands Sixth District Va Staunton Va Jany 23rd/66 Col. O. Brown, Asst Comr Richmond Va Colonel In relation to the accompanying papers of Mr Thomas Wholly I have the honor to report that the barracks referred to by him were turned over to the agent of the Bureau at this Post by an order of Lt Col Cecil Clay, 58th Pa Vols commanding (copy enclosed) dated Janry 10th 1866, and that immediately upon the withdrawal of the troops from this Post, and the consequent removal of all guards from the premises, the barrack was stripped of everything moveable by persons unknown, and there now remains nothing but the four walls and roof of a building without windows or doors. Taking into consideration therefore the correctness of Mr Whollys claim for lumber taken, the presence of the lumber on his grounds, his loyalty, and the fact that the building is not now needed for any use which could justify its repair and the payment of ground rent
