Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.
