Treasures at The Hagaman

Here is another Civil War era treasure. A letter from Winfield Scott at West Point to A. Clark at Brevoort(?) House, N.Y. Again, we have an item of mystery. The text of the letter reads-

West Point, Sep. 10, 1864

Dear Sir: I thank you for your note.
I believe I have engaged apartment [sic] higher uptown.
Yrs. with esteem-
Winfield Scott

A. Clark, Esq.
