West Point Church Va.
Oct 21st. 1868
Dear Sir,
I am here watching the complettion of building. I have asked authority to come here & board in some family with Miss Preston. I can in that way, when at home, send her to school with my team & make it more pleasant for her in many ways. I hope the General will approve the changes. I hope the $125.00 for school house at King Wm Court House will be approved soon so that I can get lumber ordered, delivered & drying. Can you get &  send to Miss Scott a few 2nd Readers, say 20. I have sent home for some but they will not be here for sometime & she needs these at once. Please write me how board for Miss Preston is to be paid &c - I have sent to Baltimore for two stoves for "Cat Tail". Have received $20.00 for rent for August. I have forwarded vouchers for October which
