Maj Genrl O. O. Howard
Chief Freedmans Bureau
Washington D.C.

Genrl,  
Having ascertained all the facts connected with the absence of Mr Miles from the City of Portsmouth I am fully satisfied that his property should be restored to him and therefor, forward the enclosed application to you. Knowing Mr M. personally and the facts connected with has case leaves no doubt in my mind that justice can only be done by restoring to him his property. I refer you to his own statement and affidavits connected with it for the particulars in his case.

I have the honor to be 
Your Most Obt Servt
Chas W Buttz
Atty for J M, Miles
