Washington, May 23rd 1867. 

Genl. O. Brown 
Dear General 
General Howard was about to write about that school appropriation when he received your letter about it. He was intending to say to you, what, in substance, you said to him, viz, "hold on." He -will- not take action in the matter till he has seen you. 
Very truly yours
J.A. Sladen -
Lieut. U.S.A. A.D.C.
