Henry P. Roach is the nominal owner of the land but that the title to the land is under dispute, and that no one knows to whom it belongs. 
By reference to the "Land Book" of the County, I find, a peice of land in that vicinity charged, to Jane (Roach) but none to (Henry P. Roach) upon which the taxes have not been paid. For a full investigation of the case, it will be necessary to summon Henry P. Roach to confront the parties first named, and, as I am unable to compel his attendance by reason of his residence being City Point I have taken no action in the case.
Awaiting further instructions
I am General
