Rutherford  Lieut Allan
Supt
Wilmington  N.C.

Lieutenant

I have the honor to inform you that the papers relative to the occupation by the Bureau of rooms in the City Hall Wilmington have been received from the Commissioner endorsed as follows -
"The Asst Commissioner of N. Carolina is authorized to make the best terms possible in this case."
In view of this endorsement the Actg Asst Comr directs me to request you to report at once the lowest rent you can procure the rooms for taking measures to provide against back rents and any attempts at dispossession while the Bureau needs the same.  These premises are not borne on any papers of the Bureau and therefore no order for restoration can be given.

Very respectfully
Your Obdt Servt
Jacob F. Chur.
