The south is failing fast in may respects – D’Almeida,
the Frenchman I wrote about, told me that he was besieged every where
down south to sell (for confederate money) any and every thing he
had, his clothes, his boots, his haversack, &c &c. Then their
niggers will gradually melt, certain. So
the fates fight for us, even if our generals do not. Jeff, to see
what I see so much of, puts one entirely out of conceit of war –
still for all that I am not sure but I go in for fighting on –
the choice is hard on either part, but to cave in the worst –
good bye, dearest brother.
Walt.
