Dear Sam:
I went to Warrenton last Tuesday & returned yesterday. Of course I voted for Henry Stuart. I saw Fount last Monday - he said that he intended to vote for Stewart & get even with him. I have no doubt he did. I spent a very pleasant time in Warrenton & was cordially treated. Mrs. Julian Keith came from me in her automobile & took me out to spend the night at Clinton. It is the old Payne Estate - just west of the Viewtree Mountain. She had a very agreeable company to meet me. I am going over to Baltimore Tuesday to see Pauline & Ada Found a letter here from my friend Mrs. Astor of London. She is now at her sister's home in Minonor near Greenwood in Albermarle. I do not remember having told you that when I was in the Hospital just at this time last year she sent me a check for $500. The world is certainly growing better everyday. I hear that Coloney William was in Washington this week. I made Stuart go home yesterday to his daughter but she replied that she had gone to Josie.
Very Truly
J.S. Mosby
