But I have been requested by Adam Bibles and Downing, whom you both know as citizens to endeavor to get them authentic information in regard to the prospects of the Southern Cherokees. Both wish to return to the Nation this Spring, but, on account of the thousand and one rumors in circulation, do not know what to depend upon and would like to see their way clear. And I confess as much anxiety on the subject for my own part, as they or anybody else can possibly feel. I find it hard to shake off old associations and cannot help feeling identified with the people among whom I had the honor to serve during our late war. And when, homeless as I am, I think of a future home, I am abound to say that the United States proper, possess no attraction and hold out no inducement to me to live there in future and to live contented.
I have had a very tedious time of it here with my shattered leg, but am now doing as well as I could expect and can now begin to use it some. I would like very much to see you again before I go home this spring and will probably come up with Mr. Bibles. He is anxious to learn at what time you will all start up to your old home, so as to be there in time to go up with you. If however matters are not so arranged as to induce the Southern Cherokees to return, he desires to know, so as to enable him to shape his course accordingly.
