Washington, D.C.<br \/>\nDear Father:<br \/>\n\tI received yours of the 10th on the 19th in which you said you thought of visiting this place in a few days.  If you do, I think the best place that you will stay would be the Kirkwood House.  You could stay there for the first day or two but if you want to find Mr. Luff\u2019s, he lives on 9th between \u201cE\u201d and \u201cF\u201d, 2nd door above \u201cF.\u201d  If you could, if you wanted to stay with me, and take your meals at some of the hotels where I think you could get them for about seven dollars per week.  I have a very nice room and I think you would enjoy yourself more by staying with me (at Mr. Queen\u2019s) because I\u2019m in a very quiet part of the city on Massachusetts Avenue between 6th &#038; 7th but be sure and come.<br \/>\n\tWe all (of the officers) called on Mr. Stanton yesterday. We first went to the Provost Marshal\u2019s office and from there to the War Department where Mr. Stanton was with Gen. McClelland in his office.  I was introduced first to Mr. Stanton and then to Gen. McClellan.  Mr. Stanton is a good sized man with a very heavy black beard.  That is all I can see of him.  I hope he will make as good a secretary as Mr. Cameron.<br \/>\nAll those officers that wanted <\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":2369,"height":2940,"file":"1-21-1862-p1.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-242x300.jpg","width":242,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-242x300.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-768x953.jpg","width":768,"height":953,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-768x953.jpg"},"large":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-1612x2000.jpg","width":1612,"height":2000,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-1612x2000.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"1-21-1862-p1.jpg","width":2369,"height":2940,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-21-1862-p1.jpg","filename":"1-21-1862-p1.jpg","filesize":2228125,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8571"}]}}
