RIP RATS, Aug. IF, 1883.

 My good Iriend-s7Re Gore17mes,p' Wlll leave here on Saturday, so you may tell all our friends to stop sending any more let ters here. W go strait to Washington, to put things to rights there for winter.

 l and the Gineral have, got things now pretty considerable snug; and 1t is raly cu- rlous to see how much more easy and sim pie all the public affairs go on than they did T spell ago, when Mr. Adams was Presi- dent. If it warnt for Congress meeting we eou'd jest go about pretty much where We Picassd and keep things strait too; and I begin to think now with the Gineral, that after all, there IS nc great shakes in the inanagm the affairs of the nation.

There is enuff' on us to dc all that IS IS wanted. n, Every iay jest after breakfast, the the Gneral lights his pipe, and be25as t5 thlnk pretty hard, and and Major Donald son begln to open letters for him; and there IS |, more than 3 bushels every day, and ali the while coming. Ne don't git through more than bushel q day; and never trou-
