Wallace's division, and that of himself, then commanded by Brigadier-General W. H. L. Wallace. General Smith sent for me to meet him on his boat, and ordered me to push on under escort of the two gunboats, Lexington and Tyler, commanded by Captains Gwin and Shirk, United States Navy.
"And what has she got to do with you?" "She is coming to board with us. She is going to join the school, and mother is to have the charge of her. A precious bore I shall find it."
