Miss A.C. Fletcher.
Dear Madam,

Your favor at hand. I write to day to Major Wilkinson urging him to obtain permission of parents of the little boy and the little girls to their remaining at the School 'till the course of study here is completed. In the boy's case it may take seven or eight years. It is too big a strain on the School to take such small fry for three years. They are too young when returned home. Will you please use your influence to obtain consent of parents to a longer period than three years. Think they ought to finish the [[underline]] School course [[/underline]].
I am, Madam, most sincerely
Your obedient servant
Geo. LeRoy Brown
1st Lt. 11th U.S. Infantry
