Dear Sir:

Genl Howard returned last night and is in the office this morning.  About a week since I wrote to you returning the contract for Leland University, and asking if you wish us to pay at once the whole $3000 at Raleigh N.C. though it will necessarily diminish the amount for New Orleans.  I have heard nothing in reply.

V.R.
Esq.
AAA Gen'l.
