Alexandria, Tuesday morning [Jan. 7, 1860]
. . . . I have just paid every bill due by the Seminary and
hereafter the cash system shall prevail. We now have thirty-six cadets (five
state). . . John Sherman is tetchy about seeming to yield to clamor, but if Dr.
Smith explains the manner in which the letter came to him, nobody can object.
We are working smoothly. I have found my books – in Henarie's loft where they
had been three weeks! – too bad. They were marked plain. . .
