William started this morning to Washington to attend Congress. We shall miss him very much this winter. May the Lord watch over and keep him, preserve him from all evil and give him wisdom and make him useful to his country.
Kate, little Sarah and I went down and spent the afternoon at Mrs. M'Clure's. They have just received letters from her sons in the 36" regiment now at Summersville. She has heard from Andrew. He was not in the battle of Belmont, has not been in service since the battle of Sringfield, in which he was engaged. Theodore is in Paducah, Ky. Has got well of typhoid fever and was lately engaged in a skirmish near that place.
