Miss:

I send you to-day blanks, register and rules.  You should certainly have a black-board a large one.  The people must make it for you, which is an easy thing to do.  You will see by the "rules", how Maps, charts, books &c. are to be obtained.  As they can best be sent from Baltimore, you will order them of Mr. [[underlined]] John Core, [[/underlined]] cor. Courtland and Saratoga Sts. and state by what boat, and to what landing.  As the river freezes, and boats stop, better get what is needed immediately.

Your letter to Col. [[underlined]] Corson has been sent to me. [[/underlined]]
