with pleasure - I have been having an official quarrel with some of the "powers" at Hd Qrs. Think it much best for me & you that I keep away just at present. All the Offs there know who you are & I think you will be well recd though as the post is out of the City - some six miles, you will not likely have much personal or social attention. There is nothing new. All are well & send love. I am very busy building & you would scarcely recognize the post. I will write again in a day or two to your next date - I am a little afraid I am a little late for Buffalo.

With love & kisses

your affec father
