#1 I was detained in St. Louis longer than I expected, and to make time pass pleasantly I visited with Joe Shurds and had a long talk about the usual topics. Nothing in particular, but matters generally.

#2 Julia’s brother, Frederick T. Dent, was a second lieutenant in Grant’s regiment, the 4th Infantry. Her father, Frederick F. Dent, was a military title holder. Her mother, Ellen Wrenshall Dent, was a teacher.

#3 I wrote the letter you wanted me to, and which I have long thought was a duty to write. You can barely imagine the embarrassment I felt in writing such a letter, even in beginning the first line. You must not laugh at it Julia, for you have the opportunity to read it before it is delivered.

#4 The letter that Mr. Porter was waiting for was from Mark Twain. He was postmaster, and he asked that Mark Twain write him again, as he wanted to know if the letters were for him.
