Description
-
Writes to his uncle that he is doing okay financially unless something unanticipated happens. Reports on the city of Baltimore at the beginning of the Civil War. "...the boys who crowded the streets selling secession flags have entirely disappeared, ... I did not see a single individual with one pinned to his coat ... it is the impression of the Union men that the other side is intimidated." Informs that the city has been very quiet after the last few days of excitement. Remarks on the military men strutting in their uniforms, but feels that "some of the better class of them show anxiety in their faces." The uncle's name is cut out of the salutation line but is written on the address on the verso.
