Sir Superintendent,

Military Academy.

Charleston.

Sir: My son José Leon, left on Thursday by steamboat. Today I am directing to this Academy that it is my great wish that he arrives well and his behavior is made [illegible].

In a separate letter by mail, I am sending a money order of $100 currency to pay for the first term of his pension.

He will need a coat, that you may order to give him, then advising me when to pay for it.
