My dear Sir: 
I fear that you will think me slow in 
suewertas your communications of a week ago. I 
wished to talk with Major Powell before accept- 
ing the appointment you have so kindly secured 
for me. He seems very much pleased with the 
Seneercns: and I shall at once notify Secretary 
Goodspeed of my acceptance. .I join Salisbury 
in the Delaware Valley tonight. 
Very sincerely yours, 
W. H. HOLMES
