Dear Sir,
Your favor of - has been recd, in reply if affords me pleasure to state that your application for appointment as an Agent Bureau has been recommended by the Asst Commissioners forwarded to Washington. It will probably be approved & the appointment made.
Since the order from Gen'l Howard that return transportation will not hereafter be furnished we have found it difficult to obtain transportation under any circumstances,
Application for transportation on behalf of Mrs Wheeler will be forwarded immediately to Washington with our best endorsement

It will afford me pleasure to visit your school & make your personal acquaintance
Very Respectfully
