Camp
Near Fort Fauntleroy
[New Mexico Territory]
December
10th 1860 [Monday]
I
have just returned from a twenty two day scout. My command
and myself in good health. and have but time to write
you that I am here. and to say that Colonel Fauntleroy
has granted me permission to avail myself of the leave
of absence given by the War Department when the Navajo
Expedition terminates. But the Expedition has not as
yet terminated and I am as far off as ever from my sights
which General Johnston first violated, and by so doing
has caused my present condition.
