The Daily Dispatch: August 1, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Florida and her commander. (search)
t night I saw a gentleman who ten days ago dined on board the Alabama with Eugene. He was then very well, and in high spirits, having just received letters from you all, at home, by an English bark. I feel happy to tell you that the Florida has been doing a fierce business. Up to May 11th she has destroyed $9,700,000 of Yankee commerce, and eluded thirteen Federal men-of-war sent to destroy her and the Alabama. The Florida and Alabama destroyed ten of the enemy's largest vessels April 22d, within sixty miles of each other, but up to May 13 have not met. Regards to Mr. Hale, and ask him please to mention, (as it may quiet much anxiety,) that up to this date all are well on both vessels. I cannot write what my plans are — the duty is very terrible upon one's mental and physical ability; but I am doing all in my power for the benefit of the Confederacy. Dare not write more. I embrace you all, my dear children. May God bless you, and are long unite us in peace and properties.
