to the Arkansas River, but have not learned what the Infantry have accomplished towards making a good wagon road. I will keep this end of the road in good condition, and ascertain what has been done by the Infantry. It affords me great pleasure to know that you feel so much interest in Fort Sill and its surroundings.

    I am having the buildings on the line of the Commanding Officers quarters finished up without raising the walls as we contemplated when you were here.  Upon examination I found that very good rooms could be made over the front part of the buildings by putting in a few dormer windows.  Save six to eight thousand dollars & hasten the completion of the work, and by crowding a little together effect us all comfortable quarters.
    We are all tolerably well Mrs Grierson and the children send their love to you.
