References receiving his sister's letter of 6 January 1863 on 24 January, while receiving her letter of 7 January on 4 February. Claims they are the only letters he has received from Portsmouth since he left one year and one day ago. Says he received a packet of Salem, Massachusetts newspapers on 1 February. Glad she received the allotment ticket he sent from Cadiz. Wants to know if she received the 50 dollars in treasury notes he sent by registered letter on 4 February 1862 (see GLC02828.01). Says their officers, Winslow and Thornton, are to arrive in ten days. Claims they will not ready for sea until the last day of next month. Would like to hear from Albert soon.
