Major Mulford tells me mother is at Baltimore. Father has
been down to Fortress Monroe. I was exchanged early in August, and to think how
near I came to never being exchanged I Arrive at Fortress Monroe half past
five; tug comes out. Is General Bartlett on board? Yes, from fifty voices, and
I am carried over the side and meet Charles Manning1 on board Adelaide;
hear all the news from Charlie. Good bed, etc.; talk late.
