My dear Mother
We have your letter of last Tuesday and are looking anxiously for another with later and we hope better news from Will. Miss Cushman and Mrs Cushman are again with us, having come back from Baltimore yesterday. Last night she played Lady Macbeth for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission
We all went to see it. The house was full and the receipts between $1800 and $1900. After the performance we had supper, and in consequence are up rather late this morning. To night we all dine at Lord Lyons’ and tomorrow she leaves for Baltimore, where she is to play tomorrow night. The Army is back upon its old ground near Manassas. The attempt of the enemy to flank it and cut off its communications seems to have been baffled, and it is now to be seen whether he will retire, or push on for another Northern raid
The diplomatic correspondence is being prepared for publication at the opening of the session. The first of the proof sheets came yesterday from the printer It promises to be even a larger volume than last year. Affectionately
your son
Frederick
