It took us seven days from Washington to San Francisco. Here at San Francisco we had our first experience with the depreciated greenbacks. The traders would take hard money only. For $100 we received in exchange but $60 in gold or silver. Soon after this we went by steamer to OregonpassinSan Francisco we had our first experience with the depreciated greenbacks. The traders would take hard money only. For $100 we received in exchange but $60 in gold or silver. Soon after this we went by steamer to Oregonpassing through the Golden Gate. We accomplished the voyage in four days. During this sea trip we were fortunate to make several new and valuable acquaintances. I recall Hon. Henry Failing, of Portland, Ore., among them.

You no go, no leave I You leave, we have trouble; you stay, we have peace. It would be impossible to describe his pleadings, but he showed much feeling and was sure I could remain if I would. I told him that the President had ordered me to another field of duty and that I must obey, but that I should always be his friend, and that I did not think he would have any more trouble. I asked Lott once with re
