My very dear friend:

I hastent to reply to your commu-
nication of 17th [??rt] without loss of time in order that
no misunderstanding possibly continue. I also include
copies of the correspondence upon the subject [treated?]
in your valued letter, the one of the letter received from
Miss M. [Gulles'?]. The other my reply copied from our
Press Book of that date. This was followed by a request
that I entered myself with the societies of the [Women?]
of the W.R.C. [?] of the G.A.R. - my reply to this was in
"doing the thing" so far as I could. I met the ladies of
the W.R.C. and I believe they joined the council. The
other society I have no knowledge of.
At the writing of my letter Aug 17. The cloud of yellow fever hung threateningly above our heads

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing transcribing the letter head as well, and I haven't yet found if there are conventions for how to distinguish between the printed letter head and the handwritten letter on it.
