Dear Col.
About a month ago just when you were in all your trouble at the Citadel (of which I knew nothing until later) I wrote you enclosing letter to the President.

faithful boys at the Academy to the service of the State and I [illegible] wish I was back [illegible words] of there again.

Hoping soon to hear from you, Col. I remain
Very Respectfully
