L-J Ltr 11 SEPT 1865 Near Cartersville 11 Sept 65 My dear Col Ifollow your suggestion & enclose my reply to your fathers kind letter, to you. May Iask you to forward it to him when convenient. Ishould be very glad to have a conversation with you in reference to your fathers plans in Mexico, but think it unnecessary to put you to that trouble, as think Iunderstand his views & feelings on the subject. My own feelings at times are sad enough, but Imust strive against them. Ihave heard that your father was erecting an observatory in Mexico, which Ihope is true. My family unite with me in kindest regards to Mrs Maury, & Iam most truly yours RELee Col: Richd S. Maury Envelope address: Col: Richd S.
