Description
Letter from Andrew Jackson Coffee, West Point Military Academy, to his brother John D. Coffee, Florence, Alabama, written on September 13, 1835.
Andrew does not like the officers at West Point because they have favorite cadets, apart from Lt. Thomas from Tennessee. “The institution is the finest in the United States, but the offircers [sic] are bad.” He describes the layout of West Point in some detail and asks John to visit him there in the summer.
