Letters and diary of Laura M. Towne

Written from the Sea islands of South Carolina.

[Diary] 6th.

Generals Hunter and Saxton have both gone North. General Brennan is in command, — our worst enemy, — and Captain Moore, our secret enemy, is in command of Beaufort. General Hunter has gone to more active work at his own request, and General Saxton to complain of General Brennan (with whom there is no peaceable cooperation), for his health, and to see about the money of the cotton fund.
