Mr. St. Marie to Mr. King.

Velletri, May 7, 1866.

General: I am in receipt of your honored favor of the 4th instant, and, in reply, beg to state that the party in question is still at the place mentioned in my last letter to you. If anything happens I shall immediately advise you. Also, if I change quarters I shall let you know where you can address me.

Hoping everything will turn out to your satisfaction, and for the greatest advantage of the United States, I hope justice to the ever-lamented memory of President L. will be made.

I have been greatly disappointed with this zouave corps. I long to revisit my native land and the gray hair of my father and mother, and wish to make of the United States my last and permanent home.

I have the honor to be, most respectfully, general, &c.,

HENRI B. ST. MARIE, Zouave Pontifical, 9th Company.

Hon. General King, Rome.
