It is, quite warm now, and the ice has gone out of the river, so there will be no trouble at the ford to-morrow, when we start back. There is one company of Faye's regiment stationed here, and the officer in command of the post is major of the Third, so we feel at home. We are staying with Lieutenant Harvey, who is making it very pleasant for us.
Just imagine what the suffering will be, to go from this dry climate to the humidity of the South, and from cool, thick-walled adobe buildings to hot, glary tents in the midst of summer heat! We will reach Holly Springs about the Fourth of July. Faye's allowance for baggage hardly carries more than trunks and a few chests of house linen and silver, so we are taking very few things with us.
All this I had often heard, and recalled every word during the long hours of that night as I was making plans for the coming day. The combination in its entirety could not have been more formidable. There was Faye's mother, a splendid housekeeper her very first day in our house. His colonel and an abnormally sensitive palate his very first meeting with each of us.
The soldiers were most willing and most incompetent, and it kept me busy telling them what to do. The mess-chest, and Faye's camp bedding are always in readiness for ordinary occasions, but for a camp of several months in this climate, where it can be really hot one day and freezing cold the next, it was necessary to add many more things.
Faye's researches, in 'British and Foreign Medico-Chirurg. Review, April 1867, pp. 343, 345. For France, the 'Annuaire pour l'An 1867, p. 213. For Philadelphia, Dr. Stockton Hough, 'Social Science Assoc. 1874. For the Cape of Good Hope, Quetelet as quoted by Dr.
My beautiful new saddle was brought in, also, for although I had had it several weeks, it was really one of Faye's Christmas gifts to me. They have such a charming custom in the Army of going along the line Christmas morning and giving each other pleasant greetings and looking at the pretty things everyone has received.
M. Faye's leading contention is that, under the circumstances assumed by Laplace, not the two outer planets alone, but the whole company must have been possessed of retrograde rotation.
Dismount before Lieutenant Golden, a cavalry officer and Faye's classmate, and all those staring troopers I, the wife of an infantry officer? Never! It was my first experience with a runaway horse, but I had kept a firm seat all the time there was some consolation in that thought.
They finally took them back, and Oliver promptly made his escape, and the sheriff had actually been afraid to re-arrest him. We have all begged Faye to get out a warrant for the man, but he says it would simply be a farce, that the sheriff would pay no attention to it. The whole left side of Faye's face is badly swollen and very painful, and the wound in his ankle compels him to use a cane.
For Jefferson Davis knew that Faye's father was an officer in the Navy, and that he had bravely and boldly done his very best toward the undoing of the Confederacy; and by his never-failing, polished courtesy to that father's son even when sitting by pieces of shell and patched-up walls the President of the Confederacy set an example of dignified self-restraint, that many a Southern man and woman particularly woman would do well to follow.
