Rev C W. Buckly  [[Buckley]]. 

Dr Bro.
I have waited just 4 weeks to hear from you about the grant to West Point. You informed me you were waiting to see Genl Swayne. I saw him and he will cheerfully recommend the appropriation of 6 instead of 3 hundred dollars. Indeed we have made the contract for the house and it is being erected. I have bought and paid for the lot, and had it deeded to the colored people, and am ready to give 5 hundred dollars more. Please let me hear from you, and how we can draw the money.
I desire to cooperate with you at every possible point.

Yours Fraternally
Jas S. Chalfant

Regards to Genl S.
