Dellwood Chesterfield County
2nd October 1864

Capt Stuart Barnes

Capt
I respectfully ask that my farm on James River opposite Verona known as Jones Landing in the County of Chesterfield  & State of Virginia may be returned to me, The Freedmans Bureau under your charge took possession of this place some two months ago, & I have learned from you that I can only regain possesion by making a written application showing my title to the place & that no proceedings have been commenced for its confiscation by the Federal Courts. The enclosed certificates I presume are the only evidence needed -
Respectfully submitted
Your obt svt
James B. Jones
