[[stamp]]THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES [[/stamp]] Atlanta Ga June 16 /67 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.
