Washington Feb. 24/ 49 Dear Mr. Chandler having concluded to go to California soon, I wish youth send me by mail immediately the sum of three hundred dollars in bills or a draft on some Massachusetts Bank, Greinfield, I think as good as any, and charge the sum to me & upon the reciept of the sum I will endorse the sum on the note which I now hold against you, also I am willing to run the risk by transferring the same, or sending the same to this city. please give this due attention and oblige your affectionate friend & brother Charles Reed

Mr Goldsburg perhaps can advise you as to the best way of transacting this. I cannot go home for this because I have not time & It will cost a good deal.
