Washington, Thursday.--Before Breakfast.
--Dearest, I arrived so late and tired, last night, that I quite
forgot to mail the letter. I found about a dozen letters awaiting me
at the hotel, from other people, but none from thee. My heart is weary
with longing for thee. I want thee in my arms.
I shall go to the President at nine o'clock this morning--shall spend
three or four days here--and mean to be back early next week.
