The drawing room was
again crowded last night, and we got up an important dance on the spur of the
moment. General Kershaw, General Gary, and General Ruggles were present; also our
friends, the congressman, the captain, the major, and the M. P. Oh! yes. We
know Mr. Connelly, an Irish M. P. and Southern sympathizer. He seems to have plenty
of money, and lives here in great style for war times; owns a steam yacht, and
we are to have an outing on it before long. There are so many interesting
things I could and ought to write about, but just can't, because I am so
hungry! And having nothing to eat, I am going to bed to fill up on sleep.
