This evening we have had a gay and lively conversation on almost every subject, embracing Geology, Astronomy, Shakespeare, Readings of the same, theatrical blunders, the opera, Montreal and funny experiences there +c. +c. * * * * Have tried to write a letter this evening. But have not succeeded very well. Am tired all out. We are daily expecting a general engagement on the other side of the Chickahominy. Corinth has been evacuated. |
