J J DeLamater
Surg & C.M.O. 

Rec'd back Jan 17th 1866  Endorsed

Richmond Va Jan 16th 1866
Respectfully returned. I cannot approve of these accounts - the charges are in my opinion unreasonable and more than the Bureau should pay. There are officers under contract with the Bureau rendering more than twice the amount of service for less than half the charge. Even if the accounts were to be allowed - copies of the orders under which the services were rendered should accompany the accounts, and the accounts themselves should be approved by the officer directing the services, on the face of the acc't's - The accounts should also be receipted - which is not the case with one - until further orders I cannot approve them.

R. S. Lacy [[Lacey]]
Capt & AQM

Rec'd Back Jan 17th 1866  Endorsed

Lynchburg Va Jan 14th 1866
Respectfully returned to Col O Brown Asst Com'r.
The authority referred to was given in letter dated Nov 2d 1865. from office of Col O Brown. A discreet and intelligent officer Lt L. W. Stevenson 10th R. V.R.C. is stationed at Lovingston with full charge of freedmen affairs and any discretionary power required in Nelson Co is exercised by him alone. The Asst Commissioner may rest assured that no action transcending his wishes or the best interests of the freedmen, will be taken, and further being honored with a seat in freedmens court does not authorize a citizen to control affairs of the Bureau as indicated in letter to Genl Terry. All orders issued on this matter have been submitted for consideration.

Asst Supt 

L.R. J.45.  Endorsement on letter of Chas E Johnston Asst Supt dated Norfolk Va Jan 11th 1866  Requesting to be allowed to return Wood & Lumber from the Taylor Farm to Norfolk and to sell at auction such of it as can be spared.

Norfolk Va Jan 12th 1866
Respectfully referred to Col. O. Brown Asst Comr &c. with request that the order restraining the Supt or others from the use & removal of lumber on the Taylor Farm be revoked. We need the free use of this lumber & wood and the request of Mr Taylor to the Quarter Master Dept was returned disapproved. There is really no good reason why this property should be restrained from use or sale. 
(Sgd) A. S. Flagg Capt & A.Q.M. &c

Richmond Va Jan 17th 1866
Respectfully returned to Capt A. S. Flagg who will state whether the wood & Lumber herein named was cut previous to Mr Taylors pardon and whether it is Quarter Master or Bureau property,
