Oct. 9, ‘61.
As I told you, Dr. Bacon left either Monday night or early yesterday for Annapolis with the 7th Connecticut. They seem to have been the first ones dispatched, for yesterday others went, and, as I write, a long train of baggage and men equipped for a journey is passing down the street. We think of sending Moritz on to Annapolis this afternoon with a basket of sea-stores for the Doctor, and he can bring us back accounts of the number of vessels, etc. Moritz is anxious to know before leaving if the troops—including the 7th Connecticut! are Union ones!
