attorney, I fear as you suggest we shall find it incorrect. Please send at once a list of the lands confiscated, not included in this list forwarded to you this day (if you know of such) with an accurate description of each tract.
You can also send another list of the most desirable farms that were clearly abandoned and we will make the effort to have them "set apart."
I would not venture at present to rent any lands to the white citizens, not loyal Refugees, and to this class of whites not more than forty acres of land provided for in the act of Congress establishing the Bureau.
Yours Respectfully
