[[Footnote 2]] It appears from the provisions of this lease that either party thereto, the Govt on the one hand, or the lessee on the other has authority to annul said lease at the expiration of any month from date of lease as this property, the Gaston House New Berne N.C. is apparently leased for a sum per month far less than its actual value Col. Whittlesey is requested if no reason exists for a contrary course, to annul said lease according to the provisions of the lease itself. Respectfully forwarded. I do not see by what authority a lease can be annuled unless the lessee fails to comply with the conditions therein stated. E. Whittlesey Col. and Asst. Commissioner [[Footnote 1]] M.37.
