Headquarters Army of the United States,
Washington, D. C., March 9th 1867
Dear Mrs. Oliver; With a very bad
pen at the General’s table I take
great pleasure in inviting you &
the General to spend this
evening with us to meet a party
of only twenty, who will be treated
to some delightful music vocal
& instrumental. Come at 7 ½
and about 9. I will give you
some oysters & a cup of
coffee or chocolate. It
has been a long time since
I saw either you or Genl
Oliver. I hope nothing
will prevent your coming
this evening
Very truly yours
Ellen B. E. Sherman
