I am directed by Maj. Gen. Howard to enclose papers in the case of Mr. W. H. Hunt.

A telegraphic order was sent to Capt. Johnson on the 20th of Sept. to cancel the lease of the property referred to. This order was sent prior to the settlement of the course of the Bureau in such cases; and, if it has not been carried into effect, is hereby revoked, and Mr. Hunt's lease will be respected, as are all others made in good faith.

Very respectfully, &c.
Wm Fowler
