Henry is preparing to leave Cimarron, and New Mexico, to return home to his family.

In another letter to Charlotte, Henry tells of his difficulty in winding up his affairs in New Mexico.

In this letter to his wife, Charlotte, Henry is counting down the days until he goes home to England.

This is a very brief note to Harold letting him know when to expect his mother and family to arrive in England.

Henry is preparing Harold for Charlotte and the family's return to England.

The die is cast, the family will go home shortly and Henry will follow next year.

Henry, (and I), have waited so long for Collison’s arrival, but will he actually show up?

It seems that the long awaited Mr Collison may arrive in a week! The last letter had no signature, and this one has no salutation so this may be the end of the previous letter.

Yet more of the English are leaving Cimarron and going home.

The residents of Cimarron are anticipating a war between the Cheyennes and Comanches on one side and the Utes and Apaches on the other.
