Senator James W. Grimes to Elizabeth S. Nealley Grimes, May 22, 1862

I have a long letter from Captain Porter at New Orleans, and one from Commodore Foote, and one from his wife, also. Confiscation got the "go-by" to-day, not by my vote, however.

Stanton has been on the “rampage” again, and called out the militia. There has never been any danger here.
