[May 10, 1861.]
We are well, and I have the satisfaction of not coming here
for nothing. There is a hitch on in the arming of Kansas men that I am trying
to remove. There are B. movements here that I shall probably control, and in
other ways I am making myself useful to my country.
This is the place for rumors, but nothing more is known here
than in Boston. There is a daily expectation of an attack by one party or the
other, but I do not think either party will risk a great battle.
