The boat is here. We shall go tomorrow I expect.
To-day the steward brought me a note from Arthur, who is up stairs. I
sent to Major Turner, asking to let him come down. I had no idea he was here.
Everybody is anxious to-night, hoping it may be his turn to-morrow. I shall
leave Arthur everything that I can. I trust this is my last night in this
horrible place. I want to be in Baltimore by Sunday. Home and Saratoga by week
after. A week at Saratoga would do me more good than all the medicine in the
world.
