Col. O. Brown

Sir,
Having been informed that my former home, which had been taken possession of by the United States Authorities, is about to be vacated, I now write for permission to be made custodian of it until Government shall again require it, when I promise to deliver it over to the proper Officials. Please let me hear from you as soon as possible, as I am anxious to make my arrangements for the future; direct to Lt. Keatly's care at this place

Very respectfully &c
Lucy B Pegram.
