[[preprinted]] 440 [[/preprinted]] Bureau of Refugees Freedmen &c Hd Qrs Asst Commissioner Raleigh N.C. June 29th 1867 Clous Capt J.W. A.A.A.G. Hd Qrs 2nd Mil Dist Charleston S.C. Captain I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of telegram informing me that Col J.V. Bomford Comdg Post of Raleigh has been instructed to vacate the State premises now occupied by the Military and Freedmens Bureau as Headquarters. I respectfully submit for the consideration of the Maj Genl Commanding that the property in question is undoubtedly abandoned property and that as the Military Authorities and the Bureau are clearly as much interested in and act an important part in State Government administration it would appear that they should enjoy some advantages at the expense of the State. It is nigh to an impossibility to procure suitable accommodations for the Government Offices. The building now used is in better condition than it was six months ago, and as occasion requires repairs are at once made, thereby preserving the house in as good order as its dilapidated state will admit. I understand that the motive prompting the application for its restoration was owing to my allowing a portion of it to used by a Committee of Union men to hold a meeting it being impossible for them to procure any room for their purpose in this City. I therefore respectfully request that the order may be revoked and these Headquarters be allowed to remain in possession. I am Captain Very respectfully Your Obdt Servt Col & Bt Maj Genl USA Asst Commissioner [[line across page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[preprinted]] 441 [[/preprinted]] Bureau of Refugees Freedmen &c Hd Qrs Asst Commissioner Raleigh N.C.
