Richmond Va Oct 11th 1865 Col. O. Brown Freedmens Bureau Richmond Va Colonel I will pay in cash for the wood & timber remaining upon the Beverley Gates lot formerly sold by him to the Rebel Government five dollars per acre. You are aware that it had a steam sawmill running upon it for a long time cutting timber for that Government & that a large quantity of wood was also taken from it. The lot being so small - about 280 acres - and so much having been taken from it and as nothing but the timber and wood belongs to the United States with a limited time allowed for getting it off I am satisfied that the above is a fair price. The early decision upon the matter will much oblige me. Respectfully your Obt Servant, D.J. Rich
Transcription Notes:
