U.S. Mil. Acady. May 29, 1854
Sir.
In reply to your note enclose herewith a Circular of Mr. E.V. Kinsley the Principal of the only school in this vicinity, & which is not connected with the Military Academy. You will see by it the branches taught, and the terms of tuition.
There is an excellent School at Troy, in this State—called the Rensselaer Institute; I have not a prospectus of the branches taught there, but believe the System pursued to be very thorough—hoping the little information I have given may answer your purpose. I am very respectfully
Your obed. Servt
