the troops from the north under Sheridan fight the hostile Indians This is for the purpose of trying to hold at or near Fort Cobb the Kioways Comanshy and Apache and keep them out of the War - I presume you have some account in the papers of late fight (Nov 27 or about that time) which is said to have occurred near the Antilope hills about 80 to 100 miles west of Fort Cobb, and which I before referred to Our latest dates of papers received are Nov 29th I have bought a pair of moccasin for you which I wish could be hung upon the Christmas Tree. I got them yesterday as we came by - also a pair for myself which will take the place of the slippers I left behind at Jacksonville. I write this note with a view of sending it by the mail carrier which we expect to pass our Camp to-night en route to Arbuckle and which may reach you before a letter will from Fort Cobb. I now expect to reach Fort Gibson about Jany 1st so mail will most likely be received at Cobb before we leave there which may bring me a letter from you and from it or letters which I will receive from you on return to Gibson I hope to learn something in regard to your coming - This is a beautiful day - Love to all - Ever affectionately yours B.H.G.
