Bureau of R. F. and A L
Office Asst Supt Norfolk Co
Norfolk Va Oct 26 1868

Respectfully forwarded The Treasury Agent. through a mistake transfered to this Bureau a warehouse owned by Mr Bell. This Warehouse was taken by the Q.M. Dept as a military necessity, and they have regularly found rent for the same as will be seen by reference to enclosed paper Mr Bell has never been from Norfolk, and has ever been a loyal citizen -
The Quartermasters Dept have been paying for it One Thousand Dollars per Year and it is now used by the Bureau as a storehouse - In view of the facts above stated I would submit that the property is on our books through a mistake, and that it should be removed therefrom

Charles E. Johnston
Asst Supt

Transcription Notes:
These are 1865-1866 letters, but original writer had mistakenly written 1868, near the top. So guess we have to put in 1868. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-07 20:57:42 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-08 22:50:49
