[[stamp]] RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT JUL 15 1865 [[/stamp]]

Office Asst. Supt Freedmen
Norfolk Va Aug. 14/65

Respectfully returned with attention called to accompanying papers. The large quantity of papers of this kind awaiting investigation together with the difficulty of obtaining evidence and even of obtaining a knowledge of the whereabouts of the Claimants renders it impossible for me to report within a reasonable times & hence the complaints of delay. 

Jno H Keatley 
Lt &c &c
