Description:
While waiting to receive mail from home, Matthew wrote to his mother to use the Express Company since all the letters that he received have all been delivered from the Express Company. To continue to receive daily mail, Matthew hopes that soon a U. S. post office will be established in Denver. After learning about the growing tensions in the east, Matthew wrote his mother that although he dreads a war, his support is with the government. Matthew ends his letter by asking his mother to write about how business is being influenced by the growing tensions.
