Str Curtis Peck Monday – March 3rd 1862
Rose this morning at 5 o’c – Bid Mr Harvey
good bye & left Richmond on the Curtis Peck
for Kings Mill Whf – The fog was so dense
that we had had to lay at anchor from one o’c
P.M. & the Capt will not make a start
before 11 o’c tonight – we will go down to
Groves Whf & stop in the morning on our
return to Kings Whf – Spent the day
reading & amusing myself with the diferent
characters abt the boat. Some ladies aboard
but I did not make their acquaintance – Wrote
to Father today – The fog is so dense that
we cannot see fifty steps ahead – It is
raining again tonight – A glorious night for
taking one of the Enemies ships by boarding
Nous Verrons [we shall see] – Might as well have waited in
town for Mr Benjamins papers! - & Miss Nannie’s
smiles –
