Dear Genl Howard 
I had hoped to see you before this in behalf of the application of Miss Stebbins who is ready to convey an acre of land for a school house in Northumberland Co - I sincerely hope you will aid as it is a most meritorious case - I am obliged to go to Richmond in the morning & cannot therefore see you at present - I send herewith the copy of your letter as requested  

I will see you on my return 

Yours Truly 
John C. Underwood
