is not a night but what I dream of you and the babies, and God knows I shall be happy when I do [illegible] with you again. I cannot imagine why Gen. C. should stop me now when he had promised me that I should not be detained. Give my respects to Col. A[illegible]-, Lt. [illegible] and the other officers at Fort Union. How is George getting along with his pony? has he [illegible] his new saddle yet? how is our baby and does she want me to come home? Kiss them both for me a thousand times, and believe me to be, ever Your loving husband George
