Bearer of despatches.

Woolsey family letters during the War for the Union

Jane Stuart Woolsey to Eliza..

March 10, ‘62.

Theodore Bronson has just called to say that he saw Mr. Woolsey (Charley) in Baltimore last night all well. He saw his name in the papers as bearer of despatches and wondered whether he really had any, or if it was a sort of passport. I am glad if he has been able to do any service, but I should not like him to go into the army.
