Bureau of RF & AL
Office Asst Supt Norfolk Co
Norfolk Va Oct 3 1865

Respectfully forwarded. The estate of Caleb White was confiscated and ordered to be sold. Owing to orders received from Washington, the order of the court has not been carried into effect. In July an order was issued by Genl Howard and approved by the President turning over the house to this Bureau and I received instructions from the Supt of the District to seize all property turned over in said order without delay. I leased the property and gave notice to the tenant to leave but upon the representation of Mr Newton, I consented to stay proceedings until I could receive further instructions from the Asst Com'r.

The property was clearly confiscated and that decree has not been reversed. I respectfully submit the case for instructions

Charles E. Johnston
Asst Supt
