Interesting Letter from Mrs. Davis.
> features of the Family from the In
carceration of Mr. Davis up to Date.
The following letter will be read with
interest, as giving a most graphic view of
irbt the prisoner’s wile atid family had
endure iron) his quitting them on board
the Clyde, in Hampton Roads, down to
the day of its date, certain parts reflect-
- / upon individuals by name I have ta-
i. n liberty to strike out, hut the retnain-
n,r of the letter is as written to Dr. Cra-
vea •
Mill View, near Augusta, Ga. )
October 10, 1865. j
Colonel Julia J. Craven, Cheif Medical
Ojixr, Fortress Monroe, Va. :
My Dear Colonel.—Though you re
main irrevocably dumb, 1 am sure you
heir me, and in addressing you I feel as
if writting to one of my oldest and most
reliable friends. Every letter from my
husband comes freighted with good wish
es for you, and thanks for all your kind
ness to him in his hours of anguish and
solitude. Can you doubt that my prayers
for you, and appreciation of your good
ness, have been even greater than his,
for 1 could do nothing hut pray? Mr.
Davis sent me carte dc visile of your dear
Anna, whose sweet face my dear baby
knows, and has been taught to kiss as her
father’s friend. The baby sends her a
little fan and a few white flowers, made
in Augusta. I hope she may like them.
Mr. Davis writes uie that she has gone to
the Moravian school, near Eastern, where,
1 trust, our niece may have the pleasure
of seeing her.
I am rendered anxious by the obstinacy
of erysipelas with my suffering husband.
Ho complains—in answer to entreaties
for an account of his condition without
ooiioetilment—of loss of sleep. I dread
paralysis for him, his nerves having been
so highly strung for years without relief.
If you can dear Doctor Craven, do entreat,
an t perhaps you may prevail upon, the
authorities to let him sleep without a
light. He is too feeble to escape, and
could not bear a light in his room when
in good health. The sequel of these at
tacks has always been an attack of amau
rosis, and in one of them he lost his eye.
It first came on with an attack of acute
neuralgia, but it is useless for me to be
gin to tell you of his constitution. You
must have seen pretty well its peculiari
ties, iu the long and kind wathces you
have kept with him.
i had hoped to relieve his mind by a
full Jotter of personal narrative, but that
letter has not been received.
When lie was taken from me on the
ship, the provost guard and some women
detectives came oh board, and after the
women searched cur persons, the men
searched our baggage.
Either they or the soldiers standing
around took every thing they fancied,
and some things so large that I did not
see how their conduct could eseape the
eye of the guard, and of the officer who
superintended the search. They then
told my servants they could go ashore, if
they did not desire to go to Savannah.
The husband of my negro nurse forced
her to go, and the white girl left from an
unwillingness to be exposed to a Southern
climate. I entreated to be permitted to
