I have not seen my home or any member of my family for the last fifteen months.  May I ask for a Telegraphic order in this case as letters received this A.M. seem to demand my personal attention to important private business in my State, involving a considerable sum of money.  My family relations also seem to claim my presence for at least thirty days in fifteen months.

I have the honor Genl to be
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
