New York
January 15, 1867
The prospect of soon leaving this place was good yesterday, but is not so good today. I still live in hopes of going west in a few days.
There has been nothing done yet about settling the question of bridging the Missouri or how the work is to be dons on the plains and in the mountains. In the mean time the days and weeks are passing.
As soon as it is known how the work is to be done, all hands will have as much work on hand as can be attended to.
