and the lumber sawed was delivered to parties who paid me for it and who I have reason to believe furnished the Confederate Govt. on contracts. 

When the Confederate troops evacuated Norfolk I left without an hours notice and had not time to make any arrangement of my business. 

I left on the place besides the mill, 2 carry logs, 2 four horse wagons, a large chest of carpenters tools and complete assortment of miscellaneous tools for carrying on the sawing business, all of which were my own personal property.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servant 
Robt. W. Larke
