Petitions for the release of his Lands from the Freedmens Bureau.
Endorsed
Respectfully forwarded to Capt A. S. Flagg A.Q.M. Supt R.F.&.A.L. with the report.  W W Silvester  seeks release for the purpose of placing his lands in the market for sale - from the extent and character of the property I judge Mr Silvester comes within the $20.000 excepted class and if his land is liable to confiscation in view of the certain large demand for fuel during the coming winter it will be desirable to secure a supply from the large amount standing on the Silvester tract. as it can be easily water borne to Norfolk.
