"I promised Col. Drummond & Serj't Brownlow to take care of Mrs. Brownlow & child, Mrs. Beaucroft (& Col. Walker to take care of a Mrs. Bruce, S.F. Gds) till I could send them home with proper women's accommodation. Otherwise, they would have gone with their husbands--per Agamemnon.
"Mrs. Brownlow is in very delicate health.
"Pray do not let them go per 'Bahiana' unless they can have a proper women's cabin. I depend upon you. There will be three to go, if possible, otherwise two."
