Dearest Jennie
I write you the first letter from my new head quarters I have been here and up the line some days but have had no place to write. My office is not completed but I have got my desk (a new and good one) in one corner and while the carpenters are busy laying floor and finishing off the building I can do some business but the first is to write to you.
My office when finished will be comfortable and convenient there are three rooms one for myself and frank one for the engineers and one for general use, it costs $1000. I wish you were here to congratulate me on getting settled once more. I have been as far west as the west end of the fourth hundred, the grading
