Major Gen'l O.O. Howard
Washington D.C.

Sir
Your communication was received this morning.
As it was simply a side issue, and an opportunity for the removal was favorable, we accepted, and will have our building completed for the present, about Wednesday. We can put in a basement so as to use all the timber. We shall clear Gen'l Jackson's lot by tomorrow.

I am
Sir, most Respectfully
Your Obt. Svt.
Rev. S.E. Colburn
