Your military life, although as much be necessarily unclear unclear very small part. My daughter, whose picture you have with mine,is a famous horsewoman & worthy to ride with you. My boys are little yet. The oldest only just twelve, but little men & in training for soldiers. The youngest who is not yet eight has been for six months, daily under drill. They are fine healthy boys very intelligent and handsome & will do good service I trust.

or if anything brings you to the East come to us, without fail. Always your friend Jessie Benton Fremont New York 21 West 19 Street. Col. Carson Taos, New Mexico.
