Amherst, Massachusetts. Sunday, March 6th, 1870.

Dear General,

             Believe me, I was much pleased at the receipt of your long and interesting letter dated the 11th of February, and which I got eight or ten days ago.   I acknowledge it's arrival in a note I was sending to Woodward about that time and I did not intend to let the letter go unanswered so long as I have.
