New York: August 26 1878 My Dear General.

 Can you not find out a few of your best military staff and let them come east to shoot in the International match at Creedmore?  Officers. N.C.S. and privates.  We can [?] them with the Milt'y [?] [?] teams and act as the whole    yet a good team.  They should be here about two weeks or more beforehand, [?].  They can come to Governors Island and
