[January] 30th<\/p>\n
Lewis returned and had a very nice time was handsomely entertained and enjoyed the change, the negroes seemed to like it too. Mr John Townsand was very much interested in the Fort\u2014<\/p>\n
Things seem to progress, the Southern States are going out one after another and the border states undetermined.\u2014<\/p>\n
We dined with Papa last week, a very handsome affair, and the party consisted of Mrs Wayne, ourselves & Miss Butler, Charlotte’s new Governess, he gave us a nice dinner. Charlotte & her little girls & Governess took lunch with us on Saturday, we had music, & cake, & wines, and I enjoyed Charlotte’s society. She says Miss Butles[?] seems to be a very pleasant tempered person with rather more of the Irish accent than she expected. She hopes she will answer her purposes for 2 years, and seems very much concerned to have these children well educated.\u2014<\/p>\n
Things seem to progress in a slow but certain way. John is now in command of a Steamboat to watch the harbor, he alternates with Pilot and I hope will get paid for his services.\u2014<\/p>\n
Charles has resigned, and intends offering his services to the State of Georgia. I am sorry he will lose his pay, but the State will pay. Lewis made a visit to the Fort at Edisto to see if Bing Smith intended resigning his place of Captain, for then Lewis would try for it.\u2014<\/p>\n
He went down in the boat and had lunch here, at 11 o’clock, and the next day returned & dined here. 4 went with him, W. Simons, Megget, Weston, Walters,\u2014but Bing Smith chooses to keep his post.\u2014<\/p>\n
We returned Mrs Barnwells visit the other day & found her at home; she expressed herself very much concerned by the ill health of her husband. Last summer Dr Ogiier[?] said he ought to go away & take care or himself he said he could not leave his business, & now he looks very badly has most painful symptoms, palpitation of the heart, & all that, and is afraid of a disease of that organ. I met with an annoying accident a few days since, in walking up the road. I took off my glove, a large dog skin one, and having lately worn on my little finger my wedding ring, because it had become too small, it slipped off and I have not been able to find it. I am going to purchase another & in the mean time wear the ring belonging to my eye-glasses, which had become loosened.\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
