Bureau RF and A.L.
Office Asst. Supt. Norfolk Co
Norfolk Va  Aug 22/65

Respectfully forwarded
The within statement I believe to be correct
Maj. Hudson late Treasury Agent, stated that the House was transferred to Freedmen Bureau by mistake, and that it was his intention to have restored it to the owner. Though a case of abandonment yet by the death of Mr. Hipkins it becomes the property of minor children, and of his wife, who have never directly or indirectly aided the rebellion.
