Head-Quarters 1st Brig., 2d Cavalry Division, On Chattahoochie River, Ga July 16, 1864: My dear Davidson On the 10th inst I received yours of June 26th. Why the long delay in its arrival I can not image. I had written you on the 26th May 18th 23rd & 25th June and 7th July, which you had not received. The letter could not have been very well.

Head-Quarters 1st Brigade, 2d Cavalry Division, Department of the Cumberland, Near Roswell Factory, GA July 7 1864 My dear Davidson I did not think, that so soon after your marriage, you would have forgotten your former friends. I supposed that, after a while such a thing would have taken place but did not anticipate it quite yet.
