April 7th 71. Rev James B. Simmons, 🗸 [[stamped]] THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES [[/stamped]] 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.
