Returned safe and well - (thanks to the Preserver of men!) on Sat. Morn. Oct. 25. -
I brought two little girls, Julia and Fanny, with me. I would have brought Hetty also, but she is diseased with dropsy, - and could not undertake the journey. -
On the whole, I suppose my affairs in Ala. have been about as well managed as can be reasonably expected. - I do not see any instance in which I can be sure they would have been better managed, had I been residing in Tuskaloosa. -
Julia was taken with yellow fever in a few days after reaching Charleston; but the blessing of God on vigorous treatment soon brought her up again."
