Buntyn Station. Sunny in the
morning, but clouded over by afternoon and rained heavy while out on exercise;
got beautifully wet. Received the N. Y. Tribune from John,
mailed 18th. Letter from Mary, Jen and James (his first letter). May he be
permitted to live a useful and intelligent life to comfort my aged parents.
Prospect of their once more finding a home in Dodge Hollow, Iowa County. May
they live to see their children once more gathered in the old homestead.
