Washington Nov 20' 1865

Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of order of restoration in case of Hamilton S Neale of Northampton Co Va.

I am at a loss in regard to the restrictions appended to this order, as I understand the practise to be, to allow the claimants when successful to collect all rents, accruing subsequent to date of order of restoration,

I have called upon the Bureau here for information on that head, and am told that Mr. Neale will be permitted to collect rents becoming due after the 17" inst. If I am in error I respectfully ask to be corrected as I have advised Mr. Neale that such are his rights.

Very respectfully your Obt Sert
Charles King
