Capt. S.P. Lee
S.a. Comr. 10 Dist of Va.

Captain:

In reply to your letter of 10th inst. I will state that I purchased the land on the Columbia Road in Alexandria County Va., said to belong to B.W. Hunter at a government tax sale, January 11 1864, and I would invite your attention to a copy of the certificate of sale herewith enclosed. I was not aware that this property was carried on the Bureau papers or I should have made an application to have it restored before, will you please have it restored to me in accordance with the Bureau regulations.

Yours Respectfully

J.M. Cabe
