I have now been home nearly a week, but return to Springfield to-day.
I have tendered my services to the Government and go to-day to make
myself useful, if possible, from this until all our National
difficulties are ended. During the six days I have been at home I
have felt all the time as if a duty were being neglected that was
paramount to any other duty I ever owed. I have every reason to be
well satisfied with myself for the services already rendered, but to
stop now would not do.
All here are well. Orvil or Lank will write to you in a day or two and
tell you how business matters stand. Write to me at Springfield.
Yours truly,
