Respectfully referred to Capt. C.B. Wilder a.q.m. asst Supt. B.F. &. A.L. with the information that I received an order from Genl Ord in June last to take possession of the wood belonging to Stiner & Whipple as Gov't. property. and afterwards was directed by him to restore to Mr Stiner one half the wood holding Whipple's share as Gov't property. This wood has never been turned over to the Freedmens Bureau. and if any has been removed by you or is still being removed I respectfully request that you discontinue such removal until you have received proper authority.

Rec'd Octo 24th 1865.
Reports that he has made further inquiries about the wood claimed by Mr Stiner. The result of his investigations was that two thousand cords of wood was cut. and that one half only was given up to Mr. Stiner - "Mr. Stiner had promised to give me evidence as to the amount cut. copies of orders & amount or number of cords taken away. Failing to get this I called upon him again and received the enclosed statement with Col James endorsement. which was probably made without a knowledge of what Gen'l Ludlow had done" -.
