Champe so you ever hear from Mr. G now. Poor fellow! I expect he is dying out in N.C. by degrees with the [blues]. Let me hear something from him in your next. You know how I love him. Who are you engaged to at present? I fear you are gaining yourself the name of flirt. I hope not tho. I suppose it is because you have so many extravagant admirers, and not wishing to get married you are necessarily compelled to send some up the spout. I am really glad you are not like most of the girls at present, crazy to get married, for I should hate like all the world to give you up. You recollect I dreampt last summer that you were married and how I told you it distressed me. As my prospects for being a married man are exceedingly doubtful, I think I shall have to consent to the proposition you made some time ago that we should both remain single. Do you not remember it? You say you believe Victoria Is really going to write her fate with Capt. Hardy's. I am sorry for it myself for I never fancied him much. Hasn't she had better offers? She certainly is a changeable girl. Does Uncle E like the \"Capt\" or is he opposed to the match? I suppose they are daily looking for Mary from Baltimore. I guess she will have lots to tell. How I would like to be at home to hear her \u0026 Sister Mollie talk. If Bob \u0026 M. have arrived tell them I will write them both soon. Did Sister go down to R. as she expected or did the Yankees raid frighten her out of the notion? Champe in several of my letters from home they have mentioned Gen. Pizzini's[?] name. Who is he? I have never seen anything about him in the newspapers. You say the young man who took my bundle \u0026 letters home did not call. I did not expect he would, as he is very bashful. He is a very good boy, but one of the ugliest boys you ever saw. He does not intend returning here. Resigned to enter the army. Well dear Sister I I have written you quite a long letter so must stop and mail it. You must excuse all mistakes and bad writing.

I hope it has not been lost for it was a long one and I wanted you to see how I spent my Christmas. Mother it has been so long since I wrote that I guess you have been uneasy about me again thinking I might be sick.  Quite to the contrary, for the last weeks I have been having a good time skating. The river was frozen over beautifully for miles. As we were not doing any studying, the Examination being past over. We were all allowed to go. I wish you could have seen the river. It looked like a flock of black birds was on it. I never saw boys seem to enjoy themselves more. Could play [bandy], fox \u0026 goose and many other games to afford us amusement. Sandie P. \u0026 Sisters \u0026 some other ladies were down to see us. Sandy seemed to be a very awkward skater and would get some pretty falls sometimes which added to my fun. I think he is stuck up quite much. I haven't spoken to him yet. I attended Church this morning. Saw his wife there, do not think she is pretty. The [G]  has only preached for us once since he came here, but gave us an excellent sermon then. I suppose in this Peach has reached Orange \u0026 [camp]. He called to see me one evening and only remained about half an hour, promised he would come again the day after and said I must have a letter for him to take home for me, but he never made his appearance. I stayed from church hoping to see him \u0026 show him the VMI sights. He was staying out in the country about three miles. Wanted me to go with him but could not do so. I never saw a boy so changed in my life. Had a little beard and then he was dressed in real soldier style. I don't think I should have known him had I seen him in a crowd. He said himself Geo. M had been having a good time out in the country for 18 days. Really glad they have gotten furloughs for they have both been good soldiers and deserve them. Hope they may be able to reach home. Mr. M seemed somewhat taken with poor Lewis Williams old flame Miss Darden. Wilson Newman called to see me a few days ago. And going from his looks, I think the army must agree with him. Am glad our Orange boys are all so pleasantly stationed. Mother tell Champ to write what has become of [Mr. G]. I feel so sorry for him. Doubtless in this you have received my report and have been worried about the way I have wasted my time \u0026 gotten demerits etc. in the last six months. Myself as well as many others have done but little studying. We have lost about one and a half months going out of these plagued marches and still Old Spex hasn't made a single allowance in the examination and I would not be surprised if there are not 150 cadets shipped soon for being unjustly unjustly found deficient, some over 18, and others for demerits. 15 were shipped yesterday, one of my roommates goes [__] tomorrow, for demerits. Spex a grand old scoundrel coins money by this as most of them have made their deposits which is $600. I think you must not be surprised to see me at any time as my number of demerits is past one hundred, though most of them I got for over staying furlough, and may yet be removed. I shall write to brother in a day or two for money to pay what I owe to Old Spex. Mother to give you an idea what sort of person Gen. S. is after our return from our last march, the government sent up 300 pairs of shoes for the Cadets as presents or to pay for our own that we wore out and now Gen. S. will not let a Cadet have a pair if he has gotten shoes from the Institute within the last 6 month, and if a Cadet is shipped before he can get them, they fall in Spex's hands, who furnishes all his darkeys with a good pair. I shall try hard to get mine, tho' don't expect to wear them, they are course army shoes worth at the present prices 30 or 40 dollars. I have a pair I bought before I went on the march that will do me, so I shall keep mine (if I get them) for Henry, unless he is well supplied. Mother you recollect the box I was so concerned about, it made it to us, after being on the way only 19 days. Although the things were rather old \u0026 stale, yet everything went good even the turkey. I tell you we were not a long time emptying the box. We were all very agreeably surprised yesterday by the receipt of another box for one of our roommates. It contained a splendid ham, two elegant rich cakes  and any quantity of little molasses cakes, sausages, molasses, apples, etc. I never enjoyed anything more. I certainly did justice to it myself. I hope Mr. L has laid in a good supply of provisions. How does Eliza do now. Hope she may not give you all troubles. I can imagine I see the difference in her cooking \u0026 aunt Phoebe's, and hear you complain. Well Mother you see I am 'bout run out for something to write about so I guess I had better stop altogether. You must excuse led pencil, I wrote with, is because I wanted to write fast (which the bad writing \u0026 mistakes will bear evidence of) in order to finish it without being interrupted by any roll call. It seems to me I now commence a letter but what I am called of by the tap of the drum to attend some call. It is really worrying. Well Mother, I shall prepare myself to receive a good scholding [sic] from you soon. You must not be too hard upon me, [phrase unclear] made to stay here for my own good, but at the same time greatly against my will. And now with love to all and a due portion for your darling self,\nI am as ever yr affect\nSon J. B. S.","Written from VMI, Lexington, Virginia.

Hiden was on the way a week, or more. Which has been the reason why you have not heard from me sooner. I wrote home last Friday as usual but I wrote it in such a hurry and did not even read it over. I really felt ashamed to send it. Know I spelt a word wrong did you notice it? I know better. Well Mother Gen. Smith has at last gotten cloth, and as I had never had a suit my name was put down for one. I have had my jacket made at last so I now have or will have two suits which will do me until July. I don't know whether to have the cloth you sent me made into a pair of pants or sell it. If I have it made up I can save my new suit. I will send you some money by first opportunity. Need not get me any more cloth. How sad the death of poor Hugh Atkins, he was so imprudent. I suppose old Mrs. A is almost frantic, and it will have such a bad effect on Julia. Champe mentioned in her letter Miss Ellen B had gone deranged and been taken to the asylum. Where did she stay? I disremember her. Old Mrs. B has been sick for a week or more I suppose that must have been the cause of it. Be sure an[sic] write me word in your next. I was down to see them yesterday. I suppose your have commenced gardening, such pretty weather for it. It seems strange that I am not at it. Hope you are well enough to go out and superintend. As you are so devoted to it and can't help it. I am not surprised to hear about sister Mollie. She wrote to me and said she had fattened. In my answer I asked her \"Could it be that Ala air was purer than Va. and agreed with her better, Hardly!\" I am glad and then again I am sorry. I don't know why some of them out there do not write to me. Her letter is the only one I have received. I will not write to them until they do. I hope you have written to brother and given him a good scolding about that sugar. He deserves one. Does Ras T. intend to go South to live? Every body in Orange must be buying and selling. I suppose it is to invest their money which they have made by speculating. You will have a near neighbor now, Cousin H. \u0026 I think I should rather live at his old place than Mr. R. by far. I wrote you about making me collars did you ever get the letter. My cap must be black. When is Mary Taliaferro coming back, and so they ever hear from her. Give my love to all at Uncle E's. Suppose Annie is uneasy about her Johnny as the fight has begun. Myself and some of the other Cadets went fishing Saturday caught a few fish and a live ground hog which we had a good deal of fun out. Have to get up now at five, then drill for an hour also in the evening. I do not mind it so much now as it is rather more pleasant. We have abandoned the old drill and begun a new one (Hardie) which I much prefer. Mrs. Newman is in Orange, wish now I had gone to see her. How is Phil \u0026 wife getting along. Suppose they have not moved to Piedmont. Is there a prospect of much fruit at Berry Hill this season. Won't I miss Sisters cherries. I guess she feels lonesome without you all. Don't the children enjoy being at B.H. I expect they stay there all the time. How I would like to have a game of play with them. I expect Mary Beverly will be as wild as a buck soon. Kiss her for me and tell her to write to me. Mrs. C proceedings are shameful. Hope you may get everything back. Everything is so dull here that I have nothing to write interesting. They give us ham now occasionally. I send you a pattern of another collar, you may make some like it. Has Mr. Shaw enclosed his new plantation. Give my love to Miss Summer, tell her to write to me.

Well dear Mother I will give you a few of my reasons which I hope will prove satisfactory. In the first place, after reaching Staunton and trotting around some time in search of Mr. G whom I succeeded in finding at last, and it then being too late for me to procure a seat on the stage. Mr. G begged me so very hard to remain over with him until the next day that I at last concluded to do so, knowing that one day longer would make no difference. I left Staunton about 4 ½ Wednesday morning and after a very pleasant trip (Having met with 3 or 4 Cadets returning) reached my old prison house at 1 p.m. and to my surprise found the Corps had left the evening before to reinforce Jackson. I then began to regret and censor myself very much for stopping over in Staun- but about the time we were ready, one of the Officers came in and said the Yankees had fallen back and that the Corps was then on the way back to the Institute after having marched to Staunton Goshen. We then thought after that information that it would be a piece of folly in us to start to meet them in coming back. I felt quite lonesome there being only a few Rats left as a guard. I staid down with Capt. B and made myself at home. He seemed very glad at having me back. And yesterday evening they all returned, broken down, sore footed and quite mad that they were not permitted to go on and engage the enemy. Jackson was very anxious expecially[sic] for the company of artillery to come on and join him, but Old Spex had not the authority to take the Corps out of the County, but had to fight them any when in Rockbridge in defense of the Institute. I am not delighted that I did not get here in time since it has proven such a useless \u0026 fatiguing march. I was on guard last night tho' not compelled, only did so to relieve some of the broken down who would have had to have gone on. I could not help contrasting \u0026 feeling the difference between my bed last night \u0026 the one I have been enjoying for the last month. Just imagine me in the guard quarters on the hard floor and in among a parcel of rats, minks, chickens, lice, etc. and then with my accoutrements all on, I tell you what taking everything into consideration I did not have my pleasant time, but it is all over now, and I hope it may not happen again. I am all OK. We will move into barracks next Monday or Tuesday when I will have a much easier time. I have not seen Old Spex yet to give him the letter. I expect he will be for court marshaling me. I was much worried at having to leave them all so hurriedly at the Village the morning I left. The plagued men at the provost office were the cause of it, they were so very slow. I only had time to kiss them \u0026 tell them all goodbye. Was Annie married on the next morning, I hope not since I could not see it. Tell Sister M to make up some excuse to give Mrs [Miss?] [H?] for not coming to see her again. I suppose every thing still remains quiet and there is no chance of the army leaving you. Has Miss E \u0026 Co. come to board with you yet. You all must write and give me all the news. I have no time to ask questions. I want this to be mailed this eve and it is near time for it to close. I had an elegant time in Staunton which I suppose Bird had written before this. Church did not get me the pillow after all. Get it from him and send it by S_ Hiden, also that knap sack Sam G. gave. You recollect I guess a new one. Tell Felix he had better sell me his cadet overcoat. Well dear mother I have not time to write more but will take time \u0026 write a more satisfactory letter soon. Excuse all mistakes \u0026 bad writing. Show it to no one but burn it. Give my love all inquiring friends. Tell McGuire I desire his letters. With love to all friends I must now bid you goodbye. Kiss the children and Old Sal if she is with you. Write soon \u0026 often to your affect.\nboy Bev.","Send me the Buffingtons letters if you get any. Their brother is here.

Well dear Mother we reached our journeys end Monday evening and nar'e Yankee did we kill or see after marching us all over this plagued mountainous country and ruining our feet we being badly shod at the time. But thank gracious, there were none seriously hurt by the trip, and now since they have had a little rest would be willing to start out on another, provided they were carried in some other direction than that of Goshen \u0026 Covington, for both of these routs every boy seems disgusted with. And it is a enough to despair anyone for you look upon nothing but huge mountains of rocks the whole way. Once in every ten miles by accident we would pass an old dilapidated looking building. I believe I mentioned in my other letter what a wet time we had of it while at Camp Staunton near Goshen. Although we were so near drowned, yet there was no grumbling, quite the contrary the boys were hollering \u0026 singing the whole time. I wish you could have heard us when a train came up to Goshen whistling \u0026 the bell ringing. I believe every boy joined in a thundering shout which reached throughout the surrounding mountains. It reminded us all so much of home \u0026 especially those who had been here so long without having a furlough that I do believe if the Yankees had been near and we been ordered to keep quiet we could not have resisted the temptation to give vent to our joy at such a pleasant sound. When we left here we thought we were going to Staunton. I took some collars along in case we should, and when I heard this train I could not but help thinking it was coming to take us there and I had made up my mind if we were got that near home I would work my [?] so as to go the whole hog. But alas! There was no such good luck for poor me. I was doomed to be disappointed. The train only came to bring a bearer of dispatches. We laid in our mud puddles until evening when the tap of the drum bid us prepare for marching. There were all sorts of rumors a float before we left camp, some said the Yankees were near Lex. and we had to march there that night a distance of 22 miles. Others said we were going to Covin. but we were all surprised when Col. Ship [Shipp] marched us up to Cool Sulphur Springs to quarter us in the cabins there for the night. Before we reached there we had to wade through mud \u0026 water a foot deep for near ten miles. We managed to build us up a little fire and dry our blankets. There was a still house at this place and every boy got enough to drink to make him sleep and to keep him from taking cold. In fact the majority of the boys were quite merry. I took a little swig Though not enough to make me feel the effects of it. Stanard Buffington had his canteen full and was looking all about for me. Expect if he had found me I should have been tipsy also for I did not think it any [harm] that night. Buffington is a splendid boy. On the next morning we set out for Lex. it had ceased raining and we had a beautiful day before us for marching, but the roads were so bad and the streams we had to pass over so swollen that we did not go more than 12 miles to Wilson Spring before we stopped over again for the night, and slept in some old darkey cabins. Although it was very [quite struck out] cold I had a very good night's rest. While were here Col. Ship received a dispatch from Old Spex (who said in his order before we left he would [?]over [?]) who was then at Lex enjoying the pleasures of home comforts) ordering us hurry back as quick as possible. We had to go in the direction of Buchanan. So we left next morning early \u0026 reach here at 11 ½ although the roads were so bad we marched 4 ¼ miles in one hour. We had orders after reached here. Mother I send with my coat a pair of pants for Henry. I wore them on the last march you will observe that they have seen hard times after mending the seat they will be made a good pair pants by having them turned. I send also a shirt which I could find no owner for and it is too large for me. You can dispose of it as you like. What do you think of the bill in reference to currency. I hope it may prove of some good for money seems to be worthless. Confederate I meant. Suppose Emma Chapman will be married soon. I would like to be present to get some of the good things. Of course they will have a big wedding. Is cousin Vic going down South to see Annie. I heard she was. I was down at Capt. Bull's yesterday. He read me a letter he had just gotten from Mary. You have no idea what a good letter she writes. It would really surprise you to read one. I hope she may pay them a visit here this spring. I would like to see her. Mrs. Powers has gotten back. I promised to kill her some birds, so if it does not rain, shall go out tomorrow. The weather has moderated a good deal today and I am truly glad of it for it was so very cold two or three days ago that I like to have frozen. Well dear Mother, I have written you quite a long letter, and I think all the news, so I must again bid you goodbye or good night rather.\nBev.","P.S. Make some of the family write me soon \u0026 often. You will find in my coat a rough sketch of Charleston \u0026 Vicinity which I drew for amusement.

I think my last letter was written in the year 1863 and now it is 64. Will you not forgive my seeming negligence. I received your long and interesting letter written on the 27th on the morning of the New Year. I therefore reckon it as among my numerous presents and as being one most valued. I was glad to see from your letter that Christmas had passed so handsomely and pleasantly. The dinner you spoke of was really a \"beautiful\" one, but I am confident when I give you a bill of fare of the one which I had the pleasure of masticating you will not for one moment hesitate in saying mine was still more beautiful. First, we had cold loaf bread (not enough by 16 loaves) also warm corn bread. Second cold beef. For dessert, molasses, water, \u0026 c. \u0026c. Oh! Indeed I fear if I were to go on and enumerate the rest I would not finish this letter soon. So leave it for you to form an idea. You all must have very kind friends to furnish you with so many nice things. You had a lot of big [?] to dine with you. My mouth runs water whenever I think about it. Why couldn't I have been there! Christmas week was the dullest to me I ever spent. Only one day suspension. Few boys tight, owing to the scarcity \u0026 high price of Liquor. I slept most all the time to rid myself of the monotony. Occasionally I would walk up in Lex. and get something to eat. I have looked forward before Xmas with much pleasure to the arrival of two boxes belonging to my roommates which were to have come by the packet boat, but it has not as yet made its appearance, and judging from the looks of the river which I can plainly see from my window, and which is entirely frozen over, that it will not do so for some time to come. We have almost despaired. The first thing we would all say in the morning, and the last I believe at night would be, wonder if the boat has come! I think we spent at least 2/3 of our time in the day standing looking in vain down the river. Isn't it too bad I intended to feast for once. There were a great many boys who were as much interested and disappointed as we were. Well Mother, changing the subject, let me give you an account how nicely I was fooled yesterday, and at the same time right much disappointed. While sitting down in my room thinking over what I should do during the day. One of my roommates (Jonny Wise) came blustering in an handed me a bundle accompanied by a letter directed as follows Cadet Stanard, politeness of Miss Bull. You well know what thought first struck me, I opened it and read it and supposing the girls must be down at Capt. B.'s commenced in great hurry to get on what the boys here term a \"big dike\" after I had finished dressing, and been told two or three times by my roommates that I would certainly captivate those young ladies, I started down to Capt. B. and upon entering the parlor asked Miss Louise where were the girls. The girls, what girls! I think told her, she seemed surprised, and said she had not a word from them. I then took it for granted they must certainly be up in Lexington, some where. So started in search of them. In passing by the Hospital I saw Dr. Madison who had just come the evening before from Petersburg and who told me at least asked me if I had gotten the bundle \u0026 letter. He then told me why they did not come on, and that his little girls had gone on to Staunton that morning on the Stage. You can well imagine my feelings. I thought it strange that they should have selected such an awful cold spell to come in. It was really the coldest weather I ever felt and I was on guard too. Hope they have postponed their visit until Spring. I got the money sent and let me thank yourself and my dear sisters for their nice presents. I am willing to wager any thing that I am the only boy who has received such. Tell Fan \u0026 Champ I will I will write them both soon. So Gen. J is still flying around Old C. Wonder if she can't prevail on him to give me a place on his staff. I am much obliged to you for sending my shirt \u0026 brush. I was in want of both so they come at an acceptable time. I hope dear Mother you will not think I am extravagant because I write so often for money. I will put down on paper how I have disposed of most of it and I know you will not think me so. I attended church this morning. The Methodist had to go there with my Company but deserted \u0026 went to the Episcopal. Saw Sandy P \u0026 bride, but did not speak to him. Lula had a beau so looked pleased. I fear Mr. Shaw's letter is lost for good. There are some grand rascals in this corps. I will go over this week and find out what that notice meant. The deposit for the next five months I think will be near $650. What has become of poor Mr. Gassaway? Let me know. I hope C. will not engage herself to anyone again unless she intends marrying them. I rather fear she is inclined to flirt. I am truly sorry that Aunt Phoebe will leave you. Know you all will see for more trouble the coming year. With Eliza as a cook she is so often sick. I delivered your message to Miss Louise B. She acted on a tableaux a few nights ago. I did not attend, it was so cold. Did you ever get your money back from the man who bought Lil? Sister Mollie said in her letter I was her debtor. I think she is mistaken. They all owe me letters. As for Monsieur Haywood I have despaired of hearing from him again. This is the beginning of the 8th page of my letter. When I began I did not think I could fill four. But I am 'bout run out now for news to write. Suppose Cousin Mollie G. is with you. Give her a buss for me. I wish I was there to do it myself. It is getting late so I must bring my letter to a close, though will not be able to mail it until tomorrow evening. Hope I will continue to hear from home as often as I have the last week. Give my love to Uncle E's family. Remember me to all the girls. Write again soon, and now with oceans of love to each and every member of our family. Kisses to the little ones and for yourself accept that which is one from a true \u0026 devoted son.\nJ.B.S.","Written from VMI, Lexington, Virginia.

I hope dear Mother you will not think I am extravagant because I write so often for money. I will put down on paper how I have disposed of most of it and I know you will not think me so. I attended church this morning. The Methodist had to go there with my Company but deserted \u0026amp; went to the Episcopal. Saw Sandy P \u0026amp; bride, but did not speak to him. Lula had a beau so looked pleased. I fear Mr. Shaw's letter is lost for good. There are some grand rascals in this corps. I will go over this week and find out what that notice meant. The deposit for the next five months I think will be near $650. What has become of poor Mr. Gassaway? Let me know. I hope C. will not engage herself to anyone again unless she intends marrying them. I rather fear she is inclined to flirt. I am truly sorry that Aunt Phoebe will leave you. Know you all will see for more trouble the coming year. With Eliza as a cook she is so often sick. I delivered your message to Miss Louise B. She acted on a tableaux a few nights ago. I did not attend, it was so cold. Did you ever get your money back from the man who bought Lil? Sister Mollie said in her letter I was her debtor. I think she is mistaken. They all owe me letters. As for Monsieur Haywood I have despaired of hearing from him again. This is the beginning of the 8th page of my letter. When I began I did not think I could fill four. But I am 'bout run out now for news to write. Suppose Cousin Mollie G. is with you. Give her a buss for me. I wish I was there to do it myself. It is getting late so I must bring my letter to a close, though will not be able to mail it until tomorrow evening. Hope I will continue to hear from home as often as I have the last week. Give my love to Uncle E's family. Remember me to all the girls. Write again soon, and now with oceans of love to each and every member of our family. Kisses to the little ones and for yourself accept that which is one from a true \u0026amp; devoted son.\u003cbr\u003e\nJ.B.S.\u003c/p\u003e"],"collection":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"numFoundExact":true,"docs":[{"id":"vilxv_repositories_3_resources_166","ead_ssi":"vilxv_repositories_3_resources_166","_root_":"vilxv_repositories_3_resources_166","_nest_parent_":"vilxv_repositories_3_resources_166","ead_source_url_ssi":"data/oai/VMI/repositories_3_resources_166.xml","title_ssm":["Jaqueline Beverly Stanard papers"],"title_tesim":["Jaqueline Beverly Stanard papers"],"unitdate_ssm":["1863-1865"],"unitdate_inclusive_ssm":["1863-1865"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1863/1865"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Jaqueline Beverly Stanard papers, 1863/1865"],"text":["Jaqueline Beverly Stanard papers, 1863/1865","MS.0083","/repositories/3/resources/166","Virginia Military Institute—Civil War, 1861-1865","Virginia Military Institute—Cadet compositions—Prose","Virginia Military Institute—Class of 1867","New Market Cadets","Virginia Military Institute—Cadet life—1860-1869","United States—History—Civil War, 1861-1865—Personal narratives—Confederate","Virginia—History—Civil War, 1861-1865","Correspondence","Telegrams","There are no restrictions.","Jacqueline Beverly Stanard was born in 1845 in Orange County, Virginia.

Therefore in accordance with my promise I shall endeavor to drop you a few and I fear very uninteresting lines. Since my last letter nothing much of interest has transpired to disturb the monotony of the V.M.I. soldier boys life or daily routine of exercises save the freezing up of the river, which has afforded us a little fun skating. Yesterday being Saturday, it did not interfere with our duties or studies, so all could go that wished. I went down to the river in the morning myself, though not with the intention of skating, as I had a sore toe and then I was minus a pair of skates mine being broken, but the ice was so beautiful that I could not resist the temptation, so borrowed a pair from one of the boys and spent the rest of the morning on the ice. It was really elegant fun, could go down the river as far as you wished. There were also a great many ladies on the ice, who seemed evidently to think there was more fun in falling down than standing up, but unfortunately in the height of their enjoyment, one of them [frisky] fell rather too hard and almost broke her nose. Poor girl, I guess it will spoil her beauty spot and I know will teach her a lesson how to run on ice again. The fall of this unfortunate lady, of course, intimidated and somewhat marred the pleasure of the remainder of the party. My friend Miss L.P. was among the no. and was looking as rosy as usual. Tomorrow being the anniversary of the birthday of the father of our Country, and in order to show due respect to his memory, there will be suspension of academic duties, but owing to the scarcity of powder, will not be able, as is customary to fire a salute. I went up in Lexington yesterday and looked around for the combs you wrote for. Got you these which I hope may suit. The best I could find, and rather high, but you know every thing is now. Though I could have gotten the two large ones for two dollars less if I had only known it in time. The following is what I gave for the three black, $3.75, one of the horn $5.00 the other $6.00, making in all $14.75. Would'nt this frighten you in peace times? I will send my [tal-er], and the combs also some matches which I bought thinking you might want them, by Cadet Harrison who leaves tomorrow for Orange to see his brother who is in a battery stationed near Morton's. I hope the things may reach you safely. Do you think the Yankees will get Mobile? I would not be surprised to hear of its fall any day. Suppose Mollie \u0026 Sallie have moved out of the City as the ladies have all been advised to leave. I think it so strange Haywood don't answer my letter. I wrote him a month ago and he knows my deposit is due at this time. Mr. Norton our Episcopal preacher lectures every Sunday eve during [Lent?] and principally for the benefit of the Cadets, and as it is near time I shall have to close my letter as I want to attend.
