Important
Mr. Thomas J. Jackson
Agent Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
Staunton Virginia
April 27 1867
Sir
Your note of the 22nd in reference to the claim of [unclear: Theophilus] Randall against me was received yesterday evening and it is out of my power to go to Staunton to day as you request, I will however [illeg.] in early next week and call at your office.
In the mean time allow me to say that while the amount of $13.90 of Randall is correct, I have an account for rent of house against him of $13.50. I house he occupied against my wishes and to my great inconvenience and annoyance for four months and a half, during which time neither he nor his family rendered me any services whatever.
Respectfully, your obedient servant
William M. Tate
