I believe that it is for true that we are to leave
for New Orleans, via Clinton and Ponchatoula, this evening. Clinton, at least,
I am sure of. Lilly came down for me yesterday, and according to the present
programme, though I will not answer for it in an hour from now, we leave
Linwood this evening, and Clinton on Thursday. I am almost indifferent about
our destination; my chief anxiety is to have some definite plans decided on,
which seems perfectly impossible from the number of times they are changed a
day. The uncertainty is really affecting my spine, and causing me to grow
alarmingly thin. . . .
