To-day I am alone. Mr. ____ has gone to Richmond to the
Convention, and so have the Bishop and Dr. S. I have promised to spend my
nights with Mrs. J. All is quiet around us. Federal troops quartered in
Baltimore. Poor Maryland! The North has its heel upon her, and how it grinds
her! I pray that we may have peaceful secession.
