By the daughter of General William Jenkins Worth. Is visiting her sister Josephine. Transmits a copy of a letter from General Joseph E. Johnston. Mentions General Pemberton (possibly John Clifford Pemberton). Mentions that Dawson, an historian, has some of her father's papers (possibly New York historian Henry B. Dawson). Refers to "Will," possibly her brother William Scott Worth. Remarks "The Army bill will be greatly modified before it will pass in the Senate," mentioning Representative John Alexander Logan. Relates that General John Cleveland Robinson lives in Binghamton. Expresses disappointment that Hunt's son plans to enter West Point, due to poor post-war treatment of Civil War officers and soldiers.
