Washington, D.C. - Sir 
In answer to your letter of the 18th July, I have the honor to inform you that but a small amount of lands in Virginia is confiscated — as yet possession has been taken of but a small part of what is required to be set apart for the Freedmen. I think lands could be bought in the state, of the owners at low prices.- 
Very Respectfully, &c. &c.
