My mother says: “Your father has gone over to-day to
Alexandria to meet McCulloch. McCulloch arrived here last night and went right
to Mr. Gwin's. It was deemed imprudent by his friends for him to remain in
Washington on account of the part he took about the Forts in Texas, and they
advised him to go to Alexandria, so your father has gone there to see him. . . . No news has yet come of the
evacuation of Fort Sumter."
