Broad Street, November
20, 1860.
My dear Sister:
Poor Beasley! Who would have thought that he would earn a name
in history as a secession victim. But these things all are awful foreboding of
what is to come when the passions of the mob are let loose and the truth is our
gentlemen are little distinguished in a mob from the rabble. * * *
I am very busy with the code and still backward.
