Text Any textual data included in the document Mobile Ala. May 26th 1865 My dear Mother The telegraph will tell you quickly of the sad catastrophe that yesterday befel Mobile- It will not inform you of the safety of your boy- For this you must await the slower motions of the mail though I use the first one, which closes at 10 o’clock this morning- About 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon there occurred I think one of the most terrific explosions on record – every house in the city was shaken as if there had been an earthquake + for a mile from the great disaster the crash of broken windows + plaster from the walls made each person for a moment suppose his own house tumbling into the cellar. I was in the office when my boys ran into the room crying, “Paymaster the house is falling on us”! I rushed up to the cupola which commands a fine view of the city + river. being (it was the signal station for the rebel army. ) A great mass of smoke + dust filled the air, over the military ordnance depot, which had blown up. Up + down the levee + its parallel street were horses running, buggies upset, army waggons upside down + men at their wits ends with fright + wonder. It was a scene of the wildest confusion I ever witnessed or expect to again. Descending to the street I went part way toward the burning ruin near enough to see the steamers wrapped flames close by it + hear the bursting shells that every instant warned the crowd away. [page 2] The side walks were covered with broken glass so that at every step I trod on it, even the sashes were thrown down + heavy doors barred + bolted flew into the street by force of the concussion + the roofs of large warehouses had fallen in. This was a half mile distant. Toward evening with two others I ventured nearer, + the scene became fairly appalling. Squares upon squares of warehouses were thrown flat to the ground, portions of walls only left standing + these so nearly demolished, that we standing in the street, we could look across whole blocks of what had been buildings. A heavy force was already at work overhauling the debris, + every now + then a dead or dying human body was dragged from under it. The shells were still bursting = the fragments flying in such fashion we did not deem it prudent to remain there long. I saw one poor negro girl just alive rescued from under a slate roof her babe had been killed in her arms. The loss of life must be great. how great will perhaps never be known for some were blown to atoms some burned to cinder, some drowned in the river + the mass of those in the vicinity of the explosion were laborers paroled prisoners returning to their houses, = colored persons from the country who were flocking as they thought from slavery into freedom instead of into destruction. hundreds perhaps whose names are “written in heaven” but of whom there exists no earthly register. The fire is not yet subdued or has broken out anew for as I write the bells are ringing the alarm + an engine rattles by. [page 3] Now I will leave this painful subject for something more agreable though it is difficult to detach my own thoughts from a calamity so near + of which the “end is not yet”. I wrote you of my shift to shore + comfortable quarters in Mr. Sage’s “Ice House”. There I ate slept + worked night + day having my bed in the same building + meals sent to me. But the seclusion was too complete for health or profit. I found it impossible to keep regular office hours because as it was known my work shop + dwelling were the same. officers did not hesitate to visit me on business before I was dressed, after I retired + at every hour of the day between. Not a meal could be taken without interruption and what was worse than all I had no one to share it with me + it feels stingy to be always eating alone. So I cast about for a boarding place but in vain found nothing to suit in fact nothing at all. every available spot in the city seeming to be covered by some earlier bird there. I gave up the search in despair. Thus fortune came to me. Last Sunday a gentleman called at the office introducing himself as “Mr. Meslier” and his friend as Brig. Gen. Cockerell of the confederate army late in command of the defenses at Blakely + Spanish Fort. the only man who stood between our army + the city of mobile + a most gallant rebel. And what do you think! he actually wished me to supply him with a suit of navy flannel. This I had no right to do + told him so, but was “so happy to clothe him in union blue that I would charge myself with the flannel” + in that way supply him He staid + talked with me an hour or more + pleased me much. He seems to have fought from principle (although I think in error) but having submitted the questions of southern rights to the decision of [page 4] arms + been thoroughly conquered he now yields himself cheerfully to the dominion of his conquerors + holds himself in duty bound to support the Union Government as faithfully as he has done the confederate. He believes too that the southern soldiers taken with “arms in their hands” will be found better citizens of the republic than the “skulkers” + that having once surrendered they may be trusted for ever after. He talked of the leading rebel generals with whom he had served in a manner most interesting to me and I was really sorry when he bade me “good morning” to go away. In course of the conversation, Mr. Meslier asked me if I knew an officer who would like board in a “nice private family”. I told him I wished that very thing myself. Next day he called again + instead of sending me to that other “nice private family” invited me to his own and here I am today once more enjoying the luxury of a home. The family consists of Mr + Mrs Meslier daughter about twenty + another twelve or fourteen, + son of my own age. Mrs Meslier is an excellent woman, of northern descent + cultivated. Mr Meslier is french + the whole family have spent much time in Europe were wealthy + a short time ago had I am told one of the prettiest houses in Alabama. But it was burned over their heads and the estate now left them for the present avails them nothing. Like a majority of southern people the success of our armies + change in currency has made them almost penniless. Yet we manage to live well enough in a pleasant house. Both father + son have been officers in the rebellion lately paroled. So you see I am in a nest of "Confeds" and in great danger of becoming a rebel myself to judge by the "company I keep". But I know them no longer as [page 1, top] rebels, they are friends, and I wish never to hear the name so much as mentioned among us here. They are punished severely enough already. Upon our northern traitors who have had their good things let the curse of the future descend. Your aff. Cornelius.
