My dearest Jenny
I have tried so far to write
you a line every day since I came back &
believe I have accomplished it so far I hope
my letters reach you more regularly than
my mail does me it not being an unfrequent
occurance for a letter from home to be over
a week on the road and one I recd to day
that had been ever since Dec 1st on the way
I have written Mr Day
Person
the last three weeks about the McClallen
Person
but as yet have heard nothing from him. I wish
you would send over & inquire if he has
recd my letters & what has been done about
it. I recd a letter from mother
Person
& also one from Fanny
Person
of the Frogs Courtship Probably Frog He Would A Wooing Go by Stephens, H. L. New York City: Hurd & Houghton; 1865 which is very funny.
Mother says that Aunty
Person
to Canandaigua
Place
go home quite so soon as she should otherwise.
The sleghing here to day ^is very good^ and my staff seem
to be enjoying it very much. As I write
George
Person
sleigh filled with officers have just drove
off.
Person
remain over Christmas He is very anxious to
learn what action will be taken in his
case at the War Dept. I have written there
for him but recd no answer yet
Your
Will
