When the U States Authorities took possession of the Farm. Now as I have never in any way (although liveing in Richmond broken any of the blockade laws, by seeking intercourse by letters on any other way to learn the condition of my property, was resting contended that after the Country became settled I could then recieve my rents, I knew nothing of the situation of my Farm, untill some weeks after the evacuation of Richmond, when I learned it was in possession of the Federal Authorities. 

I now respectfully solicit, that the Farm, lease, and rents, be restored to me immediately.

I have very little to live on except my rents. 

Yours respectfully
Jane O Bayly
