          P.S. Feby [Feb.] 2nd. An express from Washington recalled
Maj. Emory after he had been gone a few days.
I am ordered below to join [Mr?] Heippel who
is now in the field and the two parties are to be
united for greater safetyas we are going into a 
section of country when the danger from Indians
is great. My prospects for collecting appear gloomy nevertheless
I'll do what I can.
