After visiting the military academies at Annapolis and West Point, Lyman Abbott lists his views on the religious buildings and services available to students. He believes the Young Men’s Christian Association should have a house on West Point’s campus for voluntary religious work and would like Congress to give the academies money to pay for these resources. He wishes for Mott to pass his thoughts on to whoever at the association could be made aware of this.
