Norfolk Va
Sept 8 1865

Mr Johnston Asst Supt

Sir
I respectfully ask for the return of my property now in possession of the Freedmen’s Bureau. In my former Application I stated that I had not taken the Amnesty oath, thinking the oath of allegiance was sufficient,

I now enclose a copy of the amnesty oath taken by me today, and also certificate from Clerk of Court that estate has not been libelled, together with proof of property

Martha B. Saunders
