[[Footnote 1]] Protests against the occupation of the building by lessee or owner Encl of Capt. Mann. I have carefully examined into this case and decided that the store in question should be vacated at once, full particulars can be given, but Capt Johnston is acquainted with the facts of the case. Respectfully returned. The order for restoration is simply a surrender of control. This Bureau has nothing to do with the claims of other parties either owners or lessees beyond the the time specified in the lease executed by the Genl Agent. It remains with the owner to get possession & with the Lessee or occupant to give possession. We need not order any one to vacate, nor direct as to the right of any other to enter & occupy the property. That question may be settled by the parties themselves.
