Asst Comr Freedmens Bureau State of Va.
Richmond Va

Colonel:
I have the honor to request an order, to sell in small lots portions of the lumber, or boards taken from old building and Hospital Buildings recently turned over by the Q.M. Dept to the Bureau.

There are many freedmen who are able and are willing to purchase, but are not able to buy new lumber.  To this class the lumber should not be given. Under existing orders and regulation I cannot sell and do not feel that it is right to freely give to them.

I am, Colonel
Your Obedient Servant,
(Sd) C.B. Wilder
Capt A.Q.M. and Supt 9th District

Official
Max Woodhull
Asst Adjt General.
