Mr. Phillips preached under our pines. He says the elders decided to exclude us from communion. So be it. I have done. I wonder whether it was by their own wish, or by instruction that they so decided.
Mr. Judd was here to-day and he says the soldiers rob the negroes on Port Royal and he can get no redress.
