My dear Son
Catherine Barrett
Birth: 1837 Death: 1878-04-08
wishes to go to Alabama
by water from New York
to Savannah – Barrett
Unknown
writes to her that there
will be no communication
after the 4th of March –
Is there any probability
of an immediate blockade
of the Southern Ports? –
I promised her yesterday
I would inquire of you –
She would rather defer
going a few weeks longer
if she can – If there
is any thing to be said
please write immediately
God bless you
Mother
