Letter

X. F to Mr. Gibbons, May 13, 1865

[Enclosure.]

X. F. to Mr. Gibbons.

Sir; Yours of the 10th instant received. With respect to the business mentioned therein, I should be glad to learn what are the steps to be taken to connect myself with the enterprise you mention. I should be glad to know if the ultimate destination of the force you intend to raise is really decided upon, as I have my own preference in the matter, but anyhow desire a little more active occupation than I have at present.

“Please address as before, X. Y., box 75, Brooklyn post office.

“G. W. Gibbons.”
