[May 1, 1860.]
I had no time to write last evening, and so you will not get
this until Thursday. My first move yesterday was for Peter and Susie Leslie. He
has gone to Broad Mountain and will not be home until Friday, but Susie was
delighted with my offer to take him with me; thought he would go, if his
engagements will permit. If Howe and Bird both fail me, I will try to get him
or some one else here to go on. Have no doubt of success.
Later. Frank Bird has just arrived. Dr. Howe too sick
to travel, and we leave here to-night or to-morrow noon, probably to-night.
To-day I have spent the morning with J. Miller McKim. He approves of my plans,
and thinks after the elections are over that national aid can be obtained here
for them. Approves of aid to M—— and operations in that quarter at once.
Now I have only time to say that I hope you got safe and
comfortably home. My enterprise looks well to-day, and that keeps up my spirit.
Your loving husband,
George L. Stearns.
