[January, 1861.]
. . . Louisiana will surely secede this month,
but no hostile movements will take place for some time, and about the 4th of
March the plots and counterplots of the politicians, who save the people of
this country the trouble of government, will become manifest; then something
must be done or all this confusion will become a farce.
I happened to
stumble on an article in the papers saying that Mrs. Anderson had appealed to
the president in behalf of her husband. Her appeal would have moved any man of
feeling, I know that well. Anderson is the very man for the place, and will do
his duty, and if communication be opened to the sea, the war may be narrowed
down to that point as it should. Otherwise it may spread all over the country.
We must wait as patiently as possible. . .
