Sir
I learn that Maj Lucas had the promise from Mr Hudson, Treasury Agent, that he might continue the occupancy of tehe House, now occupied by him, while Settling up his business with the government; As Maj L. no doubt made his arrangements in view of this promise. I think good faith on the part of the government demands that the contract made by Mr Hudson Should be carried out by his successor provided no loss results to the Government thereby. Trusting you will see this matter in the Same light.
yours &c (Sgd) O.Brown Col and Asst Comr
