If you are not otherwise more agreeably engaged, I think you will find it pleasant here for a while and then to return with me. I have also written to Comstock to come out if he feels like it. The family are all well. Yours truly, U. S. Grant. Accordingly, I opened the hundreds of letters that had been received since his departure, answered those that required answers, and took a dozen or more constant communication with the political managers. He was without orders or express sanction from Grant for this course, but Grant knew that Rawlins was acting in his interest, just as he knew that I had written his history for the campaign.

If you are not otherwise more agreeably engaged I think you will find it pleasant here for a while and then to return with me. I have also written to Comstock to come out if he feels like it. The family are all well. Yours Truly, U. S. Grant. Letter no. Three. General Grant suffered all his life from severe headaches proceeding from biliousness.
