Letters of Rev. John W. Alvord

a week—then to N. York and about the 20^th to Boston. This is my plan at present. Perhaps to be varied by circumstances. I have just learned that they are all now at & around Warrenton, and very quiet. I shall stop at Gen'l Caldwells Head Qurs—with cousin Cory

Washington seems to me less inviting than ever—crowded & to be so excessively during the coming winter—and very vicious & wicked—George complains bitterly—but seems quite well—His wife is ex-pected in about a week

Continue to write to me here—Love to all

Yours &c

J. W. A.
