What has been done with Miss [[underlined]] Lyons? [[/underlined]]  I see you ask another for Princess Ann.

I am asked to send a teacher to Elkton.  How about that place?

Have you places for a few good colored ladies?  If so, where?

Dear Sir:

Genl. [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] says he will pay half this bill, from Oct. 1st/67, to Oct. 1st/68.  He cannot go back longer than that.  If rent had been [[strikethrough]] paid [[/strikethrough]] asked during the time, it would have been paid.  But Genl. [[underlined]] Balloch [[/underlined]] cannot get the papers through Government Office, (Auditors) for 66 & 67.  Please return the bill changed and I will collect it.  The others will go through.

I find all the boxes that Adams Express was to deliver waiting at their office here, for (as they say) the parties to send for them.  Shall I send them on?  And for whom are the boxes intended which are directed to me?  Nothing can go by express beyond this city.  Please reply immediately as I want to get them off.

Very Respectfully, Yours
