Robert Saunders at Richmond to his wife Lucy, 1863 March 22
Scope and Contents
Weather is bad. Has not gone out, not even to church. “… the devil has been permitted to rule the weather for 6 or 7 weeks.” Wrote Bob and received a reply. He had been suffering from diphtheria but has recovered entirely. Treated by Dr. Robert Madison of “the Institute” who was formerly a student “of the first order.” Upset that Breck is sick and his hearing is affected. Gratified to hear of Col. Martin’s promotion and marriage. Has seen Mr. Semple. He would love to visit them, but wants to be firmly established at the Treasury department. Glad the girls can go to their “French School.”
