Text Any textual data included in the document Key West Florida Thursday Jan. 12. 1864. [i.e. 1865] My dear Mother My hands are rather shaky, have scarcely yet attained the firmness of dry land, but having safely set my feet with a skip + jump of delight on this little piece of terra, I make if my first business to express gratitude by a letter to you. We arrived at the Key and made fast to the wharf about 8 o’clock this morning just a week to an hour from the time of weighing anchor and steaming through the narrows of New York Bay. Our first day out was fin though cold, and we skirted the Jersey coast in quite comfortable style. But as night drew on and the ship made off from land, sad symptoms of the “vomito” appeared among the passengers. I was attacked among the first in regular banditto fashion by some spirit of the vasty deep who whispered in my ear, “your supper or your life”! I felt very poor very reduced in my circumstances next morning, but was cheered somewhat when the sun rose + sea grew less turbulent, with a hope that for me the battle was over. Mistaken youth! The wind freshened, + hauling ahead was soon blowing a gale right in our teeth, and the “Fort Morgan” [Page 2] rolled, pitched, tossed her head and snorted like a donkey in distress. I ran to my kennel tumbled into bed and lay there forty eight hours without stoppoing. Of the thirty officers who took passage to the Gulf nearly all were sick, and most of the ward-room servants ditto. one poor little “nig.” and the steward alon escaping the latter only by keeping himself primed with whiskey. One of the officers tried the same preventive, but barely succeeded in drinking himself into the tremens. He reports himself to the naval surgeon here to day for treatment. Of personal mishaps I had few, once my bed broke down, and stayed down thirty six hours for want of strength in me or any aid to put it up, and once a sea broke through the dead light completely drenching my mattress and body, clothing, striking me full in the face with such force as nearly to knock me out of my birth. I had no dry change within reach, no choice but to lie down again all wet as I was and sleep myself dry. Those were dismal days to all of us, and more disagreeable I scarce ever experienced on sea or land. The passage to Key West has been unusually rough and long, and not until yesterday were we favored with 24 hours of melting sun shine. Then as we entered the straits of Florida the air grew soft + the sea charming. The last trace of rudeness passed off, and for the first time since Thursday last I sat down to a satisfactory meal, indeed it was my first appearance at table. {Page 3} The ordeal was over, a tough one, but much needed, + well adapted to fit me for life in the gulf. I began with a “clean record” and shall endeavor henceforth to steer clear of the Bilious Reefs. Today, I am quite well and strong. Have taken a walk on the Island, and strolling away to the military barracks fell in with a lieutenant who politely asked me in and has furnished me with the writing table and materials I am now using for you. This is a very pleasant place for troops in Winter, quartered in any buildings close upon the beach but in summer exposed to Yellow Fever. Twelve or Fifteen officers of this regiment (the 20 US Colored) died here the last sesason from that disease. We shall remain in port one two or three days to take in coal + discharge freight. Our next stopping place after three days sail will be Pensacola, + the enxt Mobile Bay. From the latter shall probably be transferred by despatch boat to New Orleans, whicle the Fort Morgan pursues her course to the coast of Texas. Lo in the distance I dimly see my own “Vincennes”. and though I rather wonted now to this unsettled life, I look forward with pleasant anticipation to a home even on a ship, a room, a corner that for one month at least I may call my own. I must go again now + finish my soup, take a good bath if I can find it, + get a taste of Havana Banannas. [Page 4] It is the wrong season for cocoanuts, trees are plenty here but the nuts are small + green. The Steamer “Empire City” arrived close in our wake + today or tomorrow will proceed on her way to New Orleans, with the Key West Mail. This letter must go in her bag and may reach you in two or three weeks. Very likely at the same time you will receive another dated “New Orleans” or on board the “Vincennes”. You of course will keep me informed of Henry’s plans, doings + state as to health, should he not do so himself, and he may consider my letter to you as half his own. I hope he will do the best thing, whatever it may be, remembering that the best is always cheapest, though the first cost be a little greater. I have some agreeable travelling companions and anticipate a pleasant remnant to the trip. Many officers leave us at this point, so the ship will be less crowded. My love to Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Julia ect. and all the Washington friends who wish it. I think there will be “enough to go around”. Your aff. Son P.O. Address A.A Pay’r Cornelius B.

Text Any textual data included in the document U.S.S. Stockdale Mobile Bay. March 5. 1865 My dear Mother I am just in my room, from an hours lounging outside, my head full of stories fuming + earnest that have poured in at both ears from the voluble officers of the “Stockdale”, the topics mostly religious, + the scenes laid in New Orleans + Port Royal, Connecticut + Kansas, touching the skirts of rebeldom in its whole circumference. Together we are a walking Epitome of the universal Yankee nation, and have circulated through many of the arteries of this little Globe. When I left the company, the conversation was verging into a theological discussion for which tonight I have no desire. I hear them now plunging into the waters of the “Flood: and hailing Noah’s Ark with a nautical “What ship is that”? and they cannot quite decide whether to call it “Phantom”, “Flying Dutchman”, or the veritable “Ark of safety into which went Noak + his wife his sons + his sons’ wives + the cattle. Perhaps our talk may take a more practical shape by and by, when preparations are complete, and the fleet moves toward Mobile, the time for action at hand. To see the gathering forces of army + navy + feel the pulse of its daily gaining strength, makes me certain of success. Yet I have been thinking today how easily our very ground for hope (superior numbers) might become the means of disaster, should the favor of God not be with us, how easily he might let send a pestilence upon the [Page 2] herded thousands, and destroy our overweening confidence by disease. A few hundred yards distant from us, lies an infected steamer, cut off from all communication with the fleet, flying a yellow flag which says to all approaching boats, “keep off. small Pox”! It is no special cause for alarm + gives none, but that yellow flag in her midst, is to me a constant reminder of a Higher Power than our own, reliance upon which can alone make victory sure. There is a probability that Admiral Thatcher will select the “Stockdale” as his Flagship in the attack on Mobile, indeed I believe has already chosen it, though he may change. Whether in that case I shall be allowed to remain on her is very doubtful, as with any clerk, office, + the stores for my vessels, I monopolize more room than may well be afforded on the Flagship of an Admiral. This boat is certainly not selected for its war-like properties, but its commodious quarters + light draught of water, being built to navigate over shallows + scrape the sandy bottoms. This reminds me of my experience the past week on my return from New Orleans, where I passed several days on business + seeing the city. We were thirty six hours reaching the Bay, when ordinarily it takes 15. A heavy fog blinded the pilot so that he completely lost his way. We ran aground six times on the passage, at last landing high up on a hard bottom, where we stuck all night. It is well there are no rocks on this coast, as it is, we only laugh when the keel goes grinding through an oyster bed and the bivalves bite our bottom. A mosquito were not less harmful. This is a great country for oysters! Aunt Julia ect should happen here after a hard headache, she might feast on the fat of the sea. [Page 3] March 8. The Admiral comes on board tomorrow with his staff. Such an addition to the family knocks us all askew, + we must expect no little discomfort as the price of the honor, being crowded into half the space we held before. Besides this we must be constantly on our good behavior, skinny boots, uniform + so on, and sleep in our dress coats instead of nightgowns. We all groan at the prospect, from Captain to Cabin Boy, and as for me I begrudge every inch of room of which I shall be deprived, as a business necessity. My duties are rather arduous though not too much for me, with my clerk, and occupy brain + fingers uninterruptedly from morning till evening. The necessity of visiting my vessels is a good thing for me. I assure you I am much better pleased with this busy port, than with the life of “inglorious ease” to which I looked forward on the “Vincennes”. Mobile is not yet evacuated, but we look for that event shortly + at the point of the bayonet. so much vaster plans are a foot farther north, so much nearer + louder sound the guns from the armies of Grant + Sherman, that I know to you the taking of Mobile seems a slight affair + of scarcely more account than the capture of a rebel outpost at the James. But even here you might see no insignificant movement in progress . I suppose that in addition to the formidable fleet, there are fifty or sixty thousand men in this vicintiy, + gathered for a purpose. What that purpose is, we must time will unfold. The mail came again to day. My second intelligence from home, + this time as before a package of back letters, three of them from you, + two of Henry’s, one also [Page 4] from Martha. I am grad she is so good about writing to you She tells me of Bertie’s illness + that Uncle Winthrop seems improved under the “Movement Cure”. Poor little Bertie has had a tiresome time of it, and I know well enough that the nurses too are worn + weak with their watching. They must be. If only they might all be well and strong! Why are some people forever ill, or burdened with the sickness of others most dear to them! God setteth the feeble in families I think. Henry is testing the cold March of Massachusetts. I am no little anxious for its effects upon him, though a trouble that settles so firmly in his digestive organs would see proof to weather or anything beside meat and drnk. I hope that Dr. Dio. will give him more personal attention than he appears to devote to most under his care. It seems to me his reatment is better adapted to preserve the healthy than heal the sick. It is after my bed time, and I must not dissipate even in this filial way. You will certainly agree that it is better to keep fresh for work, that spend undue time or strength in writing letters, when to do both is out of the question. But I will try not to neglect you whatever may be my course toward others. I like to write any friends when I can do so. It makes life richer + sweeter to share even the bitterness of it with those we love. Thank Mary Smith for her letter + Cousin Abbie Guinn for the wee note of remembrance. These things are not lost upon me. My love to aunt Mary Brude + remember me to Mrs. Mitchell. It is kind of them to inquire after me. Your aff.

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.
