Washington, June 15, 1864.
I would be delighted to visit you near Wilmington, and I
know Mrs. Grimes would be, but she went North about the 20th of April, where
she remained a few weeks, and then returned to our home in Iowa, where she now
is. As you can easily suppose, I am most anxious to leave here that I may join
her, and shall not be inclined to tarry by the wayside on my journey westward.
I intend some time, with my wife, to make you a visit, and I intend to do it at
the first opportunity I have; and in this I am most heartily joined by Mrs.
Grimes, for I need not tell you that she is a stanch adherent of yours.
