I would have said that Miss Williams is to go also with Mr. Norton & can go to Victoria if thought best or to Richmond or Columbus. Mrs Heller (soldier's widow) is praised of here is to start from Ohio and may arrive later and would like to be near Miss W. I have no word to guide me here about these assignments.
