- December 19th 1861. "Times have been perfectly quiet here
since my last. Mr. Gaither got back from Saint Louis,
Missouri on Tuesday a week ago after having been gone nearly
two weeks and brought no goods; however, they came down on
the "Jennie Whipple" but the officers would not permit them
to be put off here. Mr. Baker got on board the boat and went
to Cairo but could get no permit there to land them there so
he went to Cape Girardeau and had them land there. He walked
home yesterday and the goods have nopt come as yet but we are
looking for them continually. Our countryis in a very bad
condition. We are getting into a bad scrape with England.
. . . weather fine and dry. Times dull."
