Chapman's fate pending army reorganization; McKinley's feelings towards Mosby.

23 Nov. 1900, 705 Post St.
Dear Sam:
Although you are in my debt for several letters I drop a line to tell you that I have just got a letter from him in wh: he says "I will certainly remember Capt. Sam Chapman for I feel an interest in him & will be glad to serve him & I will do so to the extent of my power." I had asked him to look out for you if the Army is reorganized this winter. I spent two days last week with the Robertsons. I think, as you have little to do you might write me oftener than you. My love to your family. My regards to ? ? Rogers. Have you heard how ? voted?
Yours truly,
J.S. Mosby
Daniel says in his letter "I am going on my own look some day to find out McKinley's true inwardness toward you. I am not satisfied about it."
