My dear old Sned:
Yesterday morning (Sunday) just as we were starting for Calaveras, your telegram arrived that you had received your commission the night before and that you were with Lesley at the Grand Hotel. We stopped at the Western Union office but found they were closed at 10 AM. On our return they were closed at 6 pm, so we had to telephone a telegram in to the Oakland office. They were so busy that they were unable to take the message until after 9, so I sent it to Camp Kearny though we wanted to send it day letter to the U. S. Grant.
I got your letter of Friday this morning acknowleging [acknowledging] receipt of the $20.00, and of your long letter of last Wed. which we were all very glad to get, and to know of the testimonials of Gen. Hall & Capt. Welsh. I hope if you want to get into the regulars you get your desire.
Be sure and let me know if you need any money for your new equipment as a Lieut, and I will send it to you. I got a bill for dentistry today from Dr. Knowles for you. $27.00. I don't know what he did but I think his bills very high.

These riders are the forms of this Bureau. Some states have

My dear Seeine
Just received a fine bundle of mail from you and enjoyed it greatly. There had been none [underlined] for several days so I was getting uneasey.
I enclose in return [father's?] Dr. Knowles bill. It is correct you remember I found more trouble just after I had thought I was finished for a while so this is right.
