My dear Major Campbell

The "Ides of march" are drawing near – December will be here in a fortnight & I would like to get matters into shape before then. We followed the history of the [Norin?] in the Gulf with breathless interest & were delighted when we read in the papers that the Esperanza had arrived
safely at Havana. I hope you were none the worse for your service experience. Have you had any news in re the Congress affair? I do not know if you are now in the City of Mexico. From newspaper accounts they are having a lively time down there ; but I know you don't object to that kind of thing - You are inured & accustomed to master circumstances of rebellious tendencies - New Orleans is redolent with Indian Summer beauty I hope it won't get too hot for me in many ways - I am sending this to
San Jose & I hope it will be forwarded to you - My daughter joins
me in kindest thoughts & great gratitude to you for the interest
you showed & I am sure have taken in our case.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours Very Sincerely
N.B. [Natilie?] [Bouligny?] Smyth.
