Endorsed Norfolk Va Sept 5th 1865 Respectfully forwarded. In 1862 at the time of the evacuation, the owner of this property, then a minor 15 years old, left Norfolk and enlisted as a private in the rebel army. He served six months in the army, has since returned and taken the amnesty oath, and now applies through his guardian for a restoration of his property. This property it is admitted was "abandoned" but it is claimed that the taking of the oath restored the owner to all his rights. I respectfully submit the case for instructions. (Sg'd) Charles E.

If the compliance of the heir Mr Augustus Salasbury to the requirements of the amnesty restore him to the possession of his property, I should still recommend that the rent to the 1st of September or till such time as the property is restored be retained by the Bureau
