Steamer “silver Moon,”
Mississippi River, Near Cairo, Ill., June 9, 1864.
I am on my way home and may reasonably be expected by you on
Monday, 15th, by the morning up train, God willing and weather permitting. My
retinue is small, as I am on brief furlough. You will only need to make
preparations for three servants, two male, one female, four horses, a
small dog and myself. You need not put yourself out, as the horses and servants
are used to bivouac.
