I have, however, after a great deal of trouble, put it together entirely, and these two figures, with some fragments, hands, feet, etc., make a good academy. Mr. Fraser, Mr. Cogdell, Mr. Fisher, of Boston, and myself meet here of an evening to improve ourselves. I feel as much enthusiasm as ever in my art and love it more than ever.
"'Why, Mary! he exclaimed, 'what are you doing there? Hugging Frank Cogdell, the greatest reprobate in the army? "'I don't care, I said. 'Frank is a brave fellow, a good soldier, and a true friend of Congress. "'True, true! every word of it! said Caswell. 'You are right, madam, with the lowest possible bow. "I would not tell my husband what brought me there I was so happy; and so were all!
I feel not very sanguine as to its success, still I shall do all in my power to help it on as long as I am here." His forebodings seem to have been justified, for Mr. John S. Cogdell, a sculptor, thus writes of it in later years to Mr. Dunlap:
I put my hand on the bloody face; 'twas warm; and an unknown voice begged for water; a small camp-kettle was lying near, and a stream of water was close by. I brought it; poured some in his mouth, washed his face; and behold it was not my husband but Frank Cogdell. He soon revived and could speak. I was washing the wound in his head.
"Since writing this there has been formed here an Academy of Arts to be erected immediately. J.R. Poinsett, Esq., is President, and six others with myself are chosen Directors. What this is going to lead to I don't know. I heard Mr. Cogdell say that it was intended to have lectures read, among other things.
