25th.
The scene here, my darling pet, looks quite animated. Troops
are continually arriving. Yesterday about seven hundred came in from South
Carolina. . . . I received your precious letter, in which you speak of coming
here in the event of my remaining. I would like very much to see my sweet
little face, but my darling had better remain at her own home, as my
continuance here is very uncertain.
