General William T. Sherman to Senator John Sherman, December 10, 1874

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,        
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 10, 1874.

Dear Brother: I have just received from the President's secretary a note, saying he may want me to attend a dinner and reception he proposes to give the King of the Sandwich Islands, and I have answered that on a two days' notice I can be there. . . .

Affectionately,
W. T. SHERMAN.
