In a letter, February 13, Harriet Mathews tells William Mathews she will send him the The Watchman and Uncle Tom's Cabin, and asks him to try to persuade "Grandpa" to wind up his Port Republic, Va. affairs and retire to Charlottesville.

In a draft reply April 17, to Harriet, Dundore advises about the slave and refuses to send travelling expense money for William to go to Norfolk and enlist in the Navy. Drury Wood is mentioned.
