This reminds me of a book my father had, a collection of letters of Jeff and Varina Davis. They were a very caring couple, although Varina got more than a little whiny over the years. This is a circumstance with which I sympathize, given the lack of antibiotics, anesthesia, and air conditioning in Mississippi (*shudder*) at the time.

Say, I understand SS Central America is getting ready to leave Panama for New York, carrying some 30,000 lbs. of gold from California.
Does anybody know the weather forecast for the Carolinas?
Maybe Capt. Herndon should delay a few days, do you think?
Could we still telegraph to warn him?
If anything happens to all that gold...
