My Dear Mary, 
 
	I arrived here this morning  
between 7 & 8 oclock, A broke down Train  
off the track, throwed me behind time some 6  
or 7 hours in getting here. - I did not succeed  
in getting a car for Jasper & had to leave him  
at Bradford with Mr. James to bring him on  
in the freight train - which would not get  
further than Lafayette last night & will lay  
over there today & come on here tomorrow. - I gave him  
money to pay expenses etc. - I had to come through  
Indianapolis as that was the only way I could come. 
I had to lay over there three hours & seen many  
friends. Josh Garnett among them. He is trying for  
a chaplincy in the 100 days service - nearly all the  
Hanover students have volunteered & he wants to go  
to with them. - I saw Johny Black he is almost  
crazy to go but was afraid he could not get in on  
account of his eyes. -  I was surprised to learn that  
Wm Blake has turned out to be a very dissolute  
& immoral man,  & James (Jr) is becoming steady.  
I meet acquaintances at almost every stop. I  
find many Ind. officers here with whom I am  
well acquainted -- among others Maj. Terrell a Pay Master
