He also introduced me to his son, Captain George Guss, who had been in the army with him during the Civil War.

I was due for a dinner that evening, so I gave them a card to Mr.Palmer, of Niblo's Garden, and they all went to see "The Black Crook." When I reached the club I was given a telegram from General Sheridan telling me to hasten to Chicago.

He wanted me to hurry on to Fort McPherson and guide the Third Cavalry, under General Reynolds, on a military expedition.

The Indians had been committing serious devastations and it was necessary to suppress them summarily.

At the dinner, which was given by Mr.Bennett, I told my New York friends that I would have to leave for the West the next day.
