Norfolk Va
30th June 1865

Lieut Jas H Keatley
Supt. Freedman &c

Lieut:-
I have ascertained that one of the horses taken from my farm on Lynnhaven Bay, Princess Anne Co. Va. in the Fall of 1863 by the authority of the Genl officer at that time in command of this Military Department is now upon one of the Baxter Farms (No 1 near Kempsville in said County), and having complied with all the requirements of the Government looking to my restoration to loyal citizenship, I venture very respectfully, to ask the return to me of that horse  I am prepared to identify the animal as soon as proper authority is granted me -

I ask the restoration of this horse as a slight means of meeting the needs of my family, and trust that my application will merit favorable consideration

I am Sir
Your Obt Servt
Geo T Rogers
