My dear Christie—

                        Enclosed is leave for 5 additional days—the best that could be done. Came back from Washington yesterday. The General is unwell today. Nothing new going on. A big Review on the carpet for U.S. Grant who will be here tomorrow. We have all got the "blues". Snow a foot deep all over. Telegraphed your extension to you.

 

Enjoy all you can for there is a hard time coming.

           

Sam sends you a Kiss—

                       

Yours in haste

A. F. Cavada
