Lewinsville, Va. February 20, 1873.
Dear General,
Yours of the 10th inst. also of 28th ult. have been duly received, the former yesterday.
I think you did wisely to telegraph [underline] to the President instead of writing, and judge it had the desired result as "the papers say", the President has nearly completed his list of appointments for 1874 and that your son's name heads the list. I hope it may be time and see no reason to doubt it. At the same time I trust it will not prevent your proposed visit to Washington - altho, having "been there" myself, I full appreciate some of the reasons you give.
Should you decide to come, as we both hope you may yet decide to do, we depend on knowing it in time.
