Just after 2 P M—Yours of 22d has just come—Have you rec'd a letter from J H Johnston proposing that you & Mr P[ardee] & he go to Havana?— very cold here now for eight days—The cold affects me unfavorably, but I think I feel somewhat better—(somewhat plus)—no late news of O'C[onnor]—I rec'd a letter this mn'g from NY Herald, from J G B[ennett] himself ask'g me to write for the paper—I have just had my dinner, corned beef & mince pie.
