ST. CHARLES HOTEL,
New Orleans, Monday, Oct. 15, 1860.
DEAR BOYD: I arrived
yesterday. This morning find that a part of our bedding has been shipped per
“Eleanor.” Hardware all ready except some buckets and brooms, and these will be
ready by Wednesday, when I think I will ship per “Era No. 7'' twenty-nine boxes
of books, text and library. One [box of] regulations and some ten of Vallas'
are here, and I will send all per “Era No.7" if in meantime a better boat
do not come. I will either come up in the “Era” or the stage. I would leave
to-morrow and reach Alexandria Thursday, but Jarreau wants me to get him two
servants to wait on his table, and I want a drummer, if possible, vice Frank,
deserted.
Tell Jarreau that
Kennett was not willing that any more groceries should be sent him, as there is
a balance due them of six months' standing; but as I know these groceries will
be wanted, I have agreed with Kennett to be responsible. I hope Mr. Vallas has
his assistant engaged. We must start November 1 to the minute. I find
Ruddiman's Grammar could not be had. Andrews and Stoddard has
been substituted. No prefixes and suffixes – it is a book published solely for
West Point and is not for sale.
