Com. R.F.Ss & Sept. Ala.

Genl, 
Chaplain Buckley informs me that the question of occupying the hospital is nearly settled and that you request me to be in readiness to take possession at any day on short notice.  I shall be happy to carry out the provisions of such an order at once, without an hours delay.  I send to C.W. Buckley 1 Box crockery and 1 Doz. Iron Cotts, for teachers home. Teachers and family in usual health. We all join in sending kind regards to yourself, Prof Silsby and family, and Chaplain Buckley.

Very Resply
Yours &c,
