Buffalo Feby6/66

Sir!

I have in my possession two articles from your late residence at AArlington.@  One an old deed bearing date 1639, the other and old work on the AAnti-Christian Conspiracy.  They were sent me while the Army was stationed on the Potomac, and I dislike to hold any article that does not belong to me., I prize them as relics, but will return them if you desire.  Please answer and oblige           Yours etc
