Three gunboats are now In the James
River, on their way 10 this city, and may
probably reach here in few hours: so
we may have no longer any time to delay.
lwould rather 60 to-day, but Varina inn
agines that she cannot get ready, and
only hope that we have not delayed too
long already. shall then be cut of from
all communication with Mr., Keary, and
expect TO have no longer any peace.
am afraid to.think how long It may be
before / shall see him. Ii had known
this, | should have remained with you,
bur ! have TO try now TO bear all my
troubles alone, without even a letter Of
sympathy from Fanny orfyou.
will write again from Raleigh, and
Fanny must write me letter and direct
it to Raleigh: perhaps | may get IT, IL
would give me 50 much comfort 10 hear
from my dear mother and Fanny, and TO
know that you are all we'll and safe.
shall make my way TO Mr. Keary il there
is any way TO do IT, / am afraid that
Richmond will fall into the hands of the
enemy, as there is no way TO keep back
the gunboats. James River is so high
that all the distractions that our people
have placed In the river have been washed
away; so that there is no help for the
city; she will either submit or else be
shelled, aud | think the latter alternative
will be resorted TO.
Uncle jeff was confirmed last Tuesday
in st. Paurs Church, by Bishop Johns.
He was baptized az home in the morning,
before church.
DO try TO get letter 70 me in some way.
Direct some to Raleigh-and some to Rich
mOnd.
May God, in his mercy, protect and
deliver us from the misery and afiiiction
which now surrounds us, is my constant
prayer
Yours, very devotedly,
HELEN NJ KEARy.
