FROM A GENTLEMAN IN SAVANNAH TO A
FRIEND IN NEW YORK.
I sincerely hope that the Revolution
will not continue much longer, for feel
like one in prison, and am getting old
and rusty. May God, in his infinite mer-
ey, send relief TO us sooD, and show US
/ way Of escape. Savannah is dull-Very |
little business here. Rice is p cents, |
-four Sl20 per barrel, soap $3.50 per pound, |
candles 81, whisky SIS 10 Sl20 for com |
mon to fair, butter S. per pound, meat 81
per pound, turkeys $50 per pair, broad
cloth coat and psntaloons $500. My sons
indulge now and then in boots at $loO,
but l cannot These are realities now
what it will end in we shall see. If you
anticipated such q state Of things, you
we're wiser than /. l dared never realize
that such madness could exist on earth In
this Christian age We must wait ps-
tiently for the end; but we both can re-
J gret the patriotic and innocent blood that
is being shed on both sides for our country.

speedy end of the war alone keep me
alive. Savsnnsh gets more and more
gloomy every day, and 1 do really fear

!. pate SO long continuance Of the struggle.
