Wacahachie Texas Feb 20th 1868 Dear Captain I'm on the road to Austin I shall arrive in Austin on wednesday evening the 25th, no preventing providence. I am thirty miles ahead of the Stage, but, as it travels night & day I presume it will beat me into Austin; hence this letter to let you know that I'm coming. I shall be in on tuesday evening instead of wednesday. you see I could not count five. I might ride in, in four days, but expecting that I shall have to ride further, I shall take five to travel the distance. Very Respectfully Your Ob't Servt Charles Haughn C.S. Roberts Bv't Capt U.S.A. Headquarters Dist of Texas Austin Texas
