Col,

I have the honor most respectfully to make application for the restoration and possession of my house and lot Situated on Church Street in this city and fully described in the enclosed order of the U. States District Court. The certificate of my having taken the amnesty oath and thus papers are filed in the U. States District Court. The court directed that the U. States Marshal restore me the property, but I am advised by my attorney C.W. Buttz in order to expedite matters to make this application to you and that you would deliver it up at once

Very Respectfully
