To Col O Brown Commissioner for Virginia

Your petitioner would respectfully represent that he is the owner in fee, of a lot of land in the Town of Hampton bounded by Queen Street the lot of Hudgins, Lane and Samuel.
Your petitioner would represent that he has taken and subscribed the oath of Amnesty & that he is not within any of the excepted classes. That said altogether with all the other necessary papers are now on file in your office, in his petition asking for the restoration of his farm, which in obedience to your orders has been retired. Your petitioner would have included this lot in said application, but from the order given his daughter Miss Collier, which is herewith filed, he did not think at the time that said lot had been taken up by the Bureau. There is a Freedmens family upon the lot who will not be required to leave before the last of May if the property is returned. In consideration of the foregoing your petitioner would respectfully ask the restoration of the above described lot. 
Very Respectfully
Cary S Jones
