Sir.
The farm of Mr. Heber Ker, situate in Northampton County, Virginia, was sold by the Direct Tax Commissioners of said State for the non payment of the direct tax charged thereon, and bid in by them for the United States. Subsequently, and within the time limited by law, Mr. Ker made his application to the Tax Commissioners to redeem his land from sale, and having complied with the several provisions of law regulating redemptions, paid the tax, interest, penalty and costs, charged thereon, was permitted to redeem, and a certificate of redemption issued to him by the Tax Commissioners.

Mr. Ker now states, that your Agent in Northampton County, refuses to give him possession of his farm, except upon order from your Bureau.

As the United States
