WASHINGTON, April 2, 1850.
Sunday Evening.
MY DEAREST LYDIA—I
am now expecting to start with the Committee* to-morrow morning. We go via
Richmond, Petersburg, Wilmington, and so on to Charleston. I do not intend to
go further than Charleston, but return from there and try to reach home the
forepart of next week—I hope as early as Tuesday or Wednesday, but will write
you on the way South. At present, I am very much pressed for time. Give my love
to all the dear ones, and ask them to be patient till I come.
Very affectionately,
D. S. DICKINSON.
