You will perceive the time at your disposal is
from this to say, the 15th Nov next.

You will oblige me by allowing me to have
your answer at your earliest leisure

I am X -
Leonidas Polk
Chairman of the
Com. on Location

P.S.

Any assistance you may deem it expedient to
require, may be furnished by yourself at the expense
of the Committee. We should prefer that gotten
from a distance. I may add there are as you
may know, rail roads extending from the sea to
all the points named, so that the elevations are
readily obtained.
