because it had belonged to the Confederate Government the result was that my expense and labor on the fencing and lot were lost, Capt T.J. Farnsworth A.Q.M. also took possession of the lumber I had put there promising to pay me for it, but never did, since July the 58 Pen Vols have used it, the Q.M. of the Reg't informed me that he had no authority either to recompense nor for its use or give me possession of the lot. since they left I learn that the building has been turned over to the Freedmens Bureau and as the building remains on the lot I am still deprived of its use. I enclose herewith a deposition taken before Capt Tho's Johnson Provost Marshal showing that I put the lumber referred to on the lot and I also enclose a letter from Col Clay to the Q.M. of the 58 Pen Vols in relation to said lot. I am and always have been a Union man and have been so considered in my neighborhood. I have never been in the Rebel service nor any of my family. Hoping this will meet your favorable consideration I am Col Very Respectfully Your obdt Servt Thomas Wholey
