Still quiet. Mrs. J., Mrs. B., and myself, sat at the
Malvern windows yesterday, spying the enemy as they sailed up and down
the river. Those going up were heavily laden, carrying provisions, etc., to
their troops. I think if all Virginia could see their preparations as we do,
her vote would be unanimous for secession.
