From J. Cory Jr

To Maj Gen O.O. Howard Sec R.F. A.A.

Hon. and dear Sir
I succeeded in borrowing a compass and this morning I bough one or rather a theodolite for $100.

I shall be happy to survey for the Freedmen whom Gen Ely or any others send to Florida

Please send my Commission from Pres. Church and letters which I sent in my last.

May the Almighty prosper you
Jonathan Cory Jr
