six cents - don't know whether it is worth so much money or not, but hope you will think so, at all events - Do not fail to write to me often and you need not ever think your letters to me are not "interesting" - I will leave room to say a word to you, before mailing this to-morrow. Love to all - Many kisses for you Louisa and the Children - and so "good night - my love good night"

Ever Affectionately Yours B.H.G.

Dear Alice,

          Gen Sheridan's talk with the Indians resulted in a kind of truce - The Genl gives the Chyenes & Arapahoes fifteen days (until the 15th inst) to come in - It is believed they will all come and that the War with Indians for the present is over - I hope so as it is anything but fun to be out here  this kind of weather.  I will probably be able to write you more definitely in a few days - I hardly think I will go to Washington certainly not unless I am confident that it will pay.   Yours as Ever   B.H.G.
