Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: September 25, 1861

Gen. Fremont is to be allowed by the Administration to carry out his own plans unmolested and he is going to take the field himself, which is a good move as his reputation is at stake. Mother had a lovely letter from Mrs. Fremont, telling her, among other things, to “Watch my Chief,” and speaking of “Our General.” It is really delightful to see a woman so much in love with her husband.
