Dear Sir:
I am unable to find a mail address for the History Department at West Point and will appreciate it if you will forward this to them.
The enclosed document is from the files we salvaged following Hurricane Katrina. It has attracted a great deal of attention locally as a heart-touching vignette of our history. Do you have any supporting documents or other information concerning John S. Brush?
Thank you for any information you may be able to provide on this man.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Gray Executive Director
