William T. Sherman to George Mason Graham, January 24, 1860

Seminary Of Learning, Alexandria, Jan. 24, 1860.

Dear SIR: . . . There are two cadets that may call for action on my part, unless you think different: D— and one of the L—'s are so ignorant and evince so little effort to learn, that labor on them seems lost. I might construe the first month as a preliminary examination, and being disqualified let them return home. This only after all possible means to excite ambition or industry are exhausted.
