Cabell visited us yesterday. He was full of talk about the central college. Had a letter from Otway.

Sorry to hear Aunt Tucker's health requires her to go to the springs earlier than usual. My brother thinks that a trip to the springs would improve my health. Had planned to visit you in May. Will come when you return home. Received one letter from Bermuda.

Mr. Hill goes there in three weeks from here or N. Y. and will take commissions. Capt. Hickory is not leaving Norfolk, Had trouble by being security for David Milhado. Sukey Bowdoin as well as usual.
