Office Supt 9th Dist. &c Fort Monroe, Va, Nov. 9 1865 Respectfully referred to Col. O. Brown Asst Comm with the remark that I have not received fifteen ($15.00) dollars for a canoe, that I have made no arrangements to have shingles cut from Mr Smith's land, receiving myself one third of them, and that I do not allow the freedmen to cut wood from Mr. Winder's farm except to get enough of the old down wood for their own use until their lease is up. I also ask your attention to my answer to your communication of the 23rd of Oct. dated, I think, the 27th or 28th, Oct. I would also respectfully ask if there is any order giving to returned rebels, the content of their former property, before it is lawfully restored to them. C. B. Wilder Capt. and A. Q. M. and Supt. 9th Dist. File IAB Read Nov 11-65 Answered Nov 12-65
