And Now, Dear Sister, I Must Leave

I Am Accordingly Ready; I Have Pressed As Many Cabinet Papers Into Trunks As To Fill One Carriage; Our Private Property Must Be Sacrificed, As It Is Impossible To Procure Wagons For Its Transportation.

When I Shall Again Write To You, Or Where I Shall Be Tomorrow, I Cannot Tell.

It Is Done... The Precious Portrait Placed In The Hands Of The Gentlemen For Safe Keeping.

You May Imagine Me The Very Shadow Of My Husband.

At This Late Hour A Wagon Has Been Procured, And I Have Had It Filled With Plate And The Most Valuable Portable Articles, Belonging To The House.
