By the daughter of General William Jenkins Worth. Missed Hunt on his last visit. Has spent long hours in a sick room (possibly the room of her mother, Margaret Stafford Worth, who died in 1869). Mentions General Joseph E. Johnston, Robert E. Lee, Lovell (possibly Mansfield Lovell) and John Bankhead Magruder, who recently delivered a lecture on Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico. Discusses the actions of General Winfield Scott in the Mexican American War. Mentions other acquaintances, and notes that when she arrives in New York, she will send Hunt her card (at the time, Hunt was stationed at Fort Adams, Rhode Island). The name Duncan is written and underlined on the envelope.
