for an Early start, on the 20th. We have performed our duties in a successful & satisfactory manner, & will all be glad when we face Homeward. I have neither written nor telegraphed to Gen Ord since leaving Stockton & have heard nothing from Dept. Hd Qrs, or any one else since leaving this post and have not seen? any late? papers = As to when I will be home, I cannot say. Will probably reach Fort Davis from the 1st to 5th of May = It is still very windy & dusty - Charlie is very well - he is out to-day with his Co. May write you something more before closing this up. Love to the Bohoys = & All As Ever = Affectionately, B.H.G =
