L. Sg 30 No 2 Emaline Howard Springfield Mo. Feb 14 1866 Asks Gen. Sprague that she may continue in possession of the government building undisturbed. [[bottom margin - upside down]] may result from it. Besides those I have mentioned there are a number of others whom we are obliged to assist I wrote to Chap Wright a short time ago and gave him a preping invitation to call around and see for himself but have not heard from him yet Whose business is it to attend to these things. Writing seems to do but little good but immediate action is necessary. Pleas answer if convenient Respectfully Emaline Howard
