    Company "C" (Captain [?Byrne's?] Co) of the 10th Cav'y will be here to-morrow from the North and the balance of the Regt. will undoubtedly be here soon.  I have given up the idea of going to Washington - hardly think I can under all the circumstances get away from the District at that time -  I will certainly not go unless I am very well Satisfied that it will pay -

       Hoping the time is not far distant but close at hand when I will have the pleasure of embracing you all at the Gibson Home
   
       I am Dear Alice
       Ever Affectionately
       Yours   B. H. Grierson
