104 [[left side of page]] Wm N Wilson Applies for restoration of Property [[/left side of page]] [[right side of page]] Bureau of RF&AL Office Asst Supt Norfolk Co Norfolk Va Oct 3 1865 Respectfully forward The party has complied with the condition of Gen'l Order No. 19, but on paper merely. The Property for which he applies is worth at least Thirty Thousand Dollars The Macon House alone is worth more than twenty thousand. I respectfully forward the communication but am informed by various parties that my report above is correct, and that the applicant is guilty of perjury. He refused to take the oath of allegiance under order No 47. issued by Genl Butler and left Portsmouth for the south preferring to live there and aid the rebellion than to take the oath to the United States. I am informed also that Wilson declared he would rather starve in the south than live in comfort [[/right side of page]]
