Office Sup Refugees &c 9th Dist Fort Monroe Va Feby 16 1866 Col O Brown 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.
