Headquarters Post And District Of Mobile,
Mobile, June 30, 1865.
My Dear Wife
I send packages of papers from day to day, from which you
may have some account of my goings on.
I am living at a tremendous rate, and between my business
and my pleasures, or what passes for pleasure, and is part of my business, have
but little leisure to write; though I do far more than my share, considering
that there are so many at home. My house is full to overflowing with guests. I
am now entertaining three brigadier-generals and their several staffs. A night
or two ago I gave entertainment to the whole of Mobile, and you may be sure I
gave them a good time. There is some account of the occasion in the papers of
the day, and I enclose a slip.
