Charleston April 28. 1849
My Dearest Frances
There has been no leisure to write to you after
dispatching my letter from the Potomac. I have traveled without
resting from Washington through Richmond, Petersburg, Weldon & Wilmington
arriving here this morning Saturday at 9 o.clock. The Oleander
is in blossom. Beds of Portulaca and Verbena greet your eyes
on all sides. In short it is summer here – warm and gladful.
The case I have to argue will come on before Monday
next and will last through the week. If Fanny
enough to travel I wish you would come on and join me here. If
not I shall expect to meet you at Willards in Washington or
at Barnums in Baltimore which ever you prefer. Pray get
Mr Hartwell
you with money & come on — I should deeply regret your
loss of a visit in the South
I am very affectionately your own Henry.
Address me “U.S. Senator”. They charge postage if you do not.
