56 W.57.4.V.66. War Dept. Bureau &c Rec'd back Jan 24/67 Bureau R F & A L Office Asst Supt Counties of Northum'ld and Lancaster Va Heathville Va Jan 13th/67 Respectfully returned to Genl O. Brown A.A.A.G. with report that after thorough investigation, I can find no foundation for the within complaint. No cases of the outrages mentioned in the within paper have occurred in Northumberland County since I have been on duty in the county. I can find no such person as C.H. Nickens living in the county or who has ever lived there. The only person who could have made the complaint is a man (colored) whose real name is C.H. Cox. but who has sometimes give his name as Nickens, who is now supposed to be in Baltimore and for whose arrest a reward is offered in the counties of Northumberland and Lancaster. He having been guilty of theft from both white and blacks. Sg'd E.W. Busby Lieut & Asst. Supt. &c E.W. Busby, Lieut & Asst. Supt. Bureau R F & A L Hd.

Howard Commissioner inviting attention to endorsement of Lieut E W Busby Asst Supt Sg'd J M Schofield Bvt Maj Genl and Asst Commis Official Garrick Mallery A.A.A.G. The first endorsement was not recorded in this Book J.15.1.V.67. Stone, J.R. Bvt. Maj. &c Bureau R F & A L Office Supt 2nd Dist Petersburg Va Jan 23d/67 Respectfully forwarded to Genl O. Brown A.A.A.G. I respectfully submit that the right of possession of these buildings should be at once settled. The officer in charge of the hospital is daily insulted by the arrogant rebel claiming to own the buildings. These buildings were built by the late rebel government on Daniels land. 57 By virtue of Dec. 12 Act of Congress July 15, 1866. I advertised some of these buildings to be sold at auction on the 25th of Sept 1866. by order and in the name of the Chf Q.M. of the Bureau at Richmond. Before the day of sale Daniels obtained an injunction from a circuit Judge to stop the sale. And I was ordered from the office of Maj White Chf Q.M. at Richmond to delay the sale. I forwarded to the office of the Asst Comm'r on the 5th of Oct 1866 a full report of the case. with a copy of the injunction referred to. The buildings are clearly government property; the owner of the land is doubtless entitled to rent. Sg'd J.R. Stone Bvt Maj & Supt B R F A L Daniels, Geo. W.

B R F & A L dated Washington D.C. Jan 2nd 1867, and that Cir No. 2. of April 10th 1866, was superseded by the above named circular.
