My dear Son
The month of June
with it birds and flowers
has gone by and we
have not had your
promised visit. When
I heard the payment of
the Army of the Potomac
was deferred indefinitely
I thought it probable
you would not be able
to come at present.
We shall be very glad to
see you when you can
come. It seemed a long
time since we had heard

Washington. It is a comfort
to know he was safe up
to that time. I do not
venture to look much
to the future. This
morning's paper brings the
report of the injury

His father has been suffering
much with apprehension
about his safety since
the commencement of their
campaign. His own mother

I have heard nothing except
the Tribune report yet,
but see no reason to doubt
that it is their son.
His arm is shattered by a
shell. He was in the 18th
Corps. Mr Chase's

and speculation about his
successor. I think Mr Fessenden's

do much to inspire
confidence, hope his health
may allow it. I enclose
an article from a Syracuse

paper, Democratic of course,
It manifests a spirit which
is very prevalent in these
parts. Is not it strange
that such people would
risk another riot to further
their own political schemes.
I do not know that I have
mentioned that Joseph

rowdies, once by some
Irish boys about his
own age, and last

attempt to discern who it was.
The print of a man's foot

in the slate rock opposite
the window. These are law-
less times. Tell Anna the woman
