General Howard
Commissioner F.B.& A Lands
Sir,
I have made the acquaintance of some of the members of the Benevolent associations of the city & it occurred to me that it would perhaps be advantageous to make myself known at Wilmington Delaware.
I know of nothing, at this moment that would prevent my going early next week, so as to be back in time for the monthly reports, if it is thought advisable by the commissioner in chief, to give orders to that effect.
I am very respectfully
Your obedient servant
H. Brooks
