          AS to the time a report will be necessary.
I cannot as yet say. There is a good deal of drawing 
to be done which will not be completed before the termination
of the present session of congress. Enough
however will probably be done to authorize the presentation
of the report, which cant hen be ordered to be printed & furnished
during the recep. [receipt]. Such is my present impression.
If you eill be so good as to 
designate the point to which you will have the box 
sent, I will forward it to you at once.

I am, dear Sir,
Very Respectfully
Your Ob. Servt. [obedient servant]
