Washington, D. C.,
November 9,
1865.
I WILL be in my new house by Christmas. Without furnishing
the fourth story I will have abundance of room for myself and friends. If Mrs.
Washburn comes on to visit Washington this winter, bring her to our house. I
shall visit New York City a few days next week to close up the papers on my
house purchase, and when I return go South on an inspection tour. Once back
from that I shall square down for hard work as long as Congress is in session.
