LYMAN ABBOTT, Gen. Sec. J. M. McKIM, Cor. Sec.

New York, 8 April 1869.

Dear Mr Manly,
Yours of 2nd Inst came duly to hand & we are glad to think that the Richmond Ed: Association will have the Navy Hill Buildings. We prefer them to any other body as the transferees. If they do have to pay for them, we shall be ready to make the arrangement you mention.

Shall we get another Quarter's payment from the Bureau & when?

Yours Truly
Fran's Geo Shaw
