Washington, March 27th 1866.

Col. O. Brown Ass't Com'r
Richmond Va.

Colonel:
Ascertain as quickly as possible, whether Mr Chase intends to comply with his engagement with regard to Mr. Watkins' property in Richmond; I am not pleased with the delay on his part.

Please send a special messenger, and get his reply at once. If he does not take measures to move the buildings with the aid specified, they will be sold to Mr. Watkins as I agreed.

Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
O. O. Howard
Major General Com'r
