H.H. Curtis
Petitions for certain house at Fort Magruder

Office Asst Supt R F & A L
Yorktown Va Dec 18th 1865

Respectfully forwarded to Capt C.B. Wilder A Q M Supt Bureau R F & A L 9th Dist.

The petitioner does not designate the house he claims as his, there is a house outside the Fort on Mr Saunders land occupied by a colored family which I have no doubt is the one he refers to, the head of the family is a carpenter and has fitted the house up at considerable expense to himself.

If this is the house he claims and it can be allowed to remain I would recommend that the occupant be allowed to retain it until wanted by the Government
