[Chester Court House, March
15th, 1865]
In the morning I send Lieut. Ogden with Lawrence to
Lincolnton to bring you down. I have three vacant rooms; one with bedsteads,
chairs, washstands, basins, and pitchers; the two others bare. You can have
half of a kitchen for your cooking. I have also at Dr. Da Vega's, a room,
furnished, to which you are invited (board, also). You can take your choice. If
you can get your friends in Lincolnton to assume charge of your valuables, only
bring such as you may need here. Perhaps it will be better to bring bed and
bedding and the other indispensables.
