Left dear Waverly at 9 o’c this morning. Mrs. Johnson and Reynolds accompanied me, and tonight we find ourselves quietly ensconsed at Mrs. Henderson’s. I met many of my friends at West Point, Gen. Forrest’s Hd. Qts. are there. Mr. Hamilton put us aboard the train, and fortunately I met with an old friend, Tub Anderson, who was guard on the train, he assisted us a great deal. We have spent the evening very pleasantly at Mrs. Henderson’s, she is a fine musician, and very accomodating. I miss my friend Lucy so much. Nothing very exciting has transpired today.
