for the removal so that I did not have time to cultivate any new acquaintances though there were many new people there, and indeed hardly time to give the old ones good-bye. I am here now a total stranger in a great city, so that being a stranger wherever I have been and where I am I feel almost like a stranger in the world, and unless I very soon have work to keep me very busy I fear I shall have the blues. I wish very much that I could have gone to Fremont and I think I should have done it after getting home if I had not been at once placed under orders for this place. It would give me much pleasure to visit that country and see the people I saw when there, but I wish particularly to go because the girls at Austin and yourself have so often and so kindly asked me to come. But I must come some day and I will; so look out for me to drop in some day perhaps when you least expect it. I hope Sallie and Jennie may not think that I have causelessly violated any promise
