Natick Mass. July 17, 1868.

Bt. Brig. Gen. O. Brown
Asst. Comr B.R.F & A.L. Dist. Va, 

Sir 

I have the honor to tender my resignation, the health of my family will not admit of my returning South during the warm weather, and as you require all the Agents the Government will admit of, until after the election, I hold it my duty to inform you in season so that my place can be filled in season for the election, and I would earnestly request that you clothe the agent at Lunenburg Co. with all the power that it is possible for an agent to possess. And in addition to the Bureau powers clothe him with the powers of a Military Commissioner, for the mass of the white people cannot be trusted, they are quite a different set from Halifax Co. 

With many wishes for your success, I Remain Your Obedient Servant, 

Wm Nutt
A.S.A. Comr B.R.F & A.L.
