 at this time no fixed plan, and my committee of ways and neans 

 has not nade a report,I feel a strong dislike to return to the 

 States, and shall try everything to continue my trip to Califor- 

 nia, and that by way of the Gila Mountains. I dischargedi Schwalbe 

 some time ago, as I had no use for a servant and he became too 

 shy of work. My horse is fine and fat as always. Mr. Spigon (?) 

 is here again, had much to suffer in the South, but fought him- 

 seif bravely through everything, and did a splended business. 

 He will probably remain here several months and coine to St .Louis 

 in the Spring. 



I 



Tomorrow morning ß shall Visit the Castle place with Mr. 

 Kribben. Of my barometric observations is one from that place, it 

 is the one before the last prior to my arrival in Chihuahua. 



I return the papers of Mr.Golzles, beeause his man has long 

 disappeared and nobody knows anything about him. 



Gree tings to all my friends, as well to your wife, the 

 latter I thank for the li^r^t belt. As soon as post departs from 

 here you shall hear a^ain from me. 



Your friend A.Wislizenus
