Mobile Ala
June 27/66

My dear General,
Will your purchaser for the "Mary" (the $40,000 Chap) be on hand today at the time for which the sale is advertised? (the 19th July.)

It is a matter of some personal convenience to me that I should know at once, as I want to provide for the adjournment, &c, if this will be necessary, before I leave Mobile.

Faithfully Yours
Richard Busteed
Maj Gen Swayne
