Excerpts: 18 July 1848: "I am still quite well notwithstanding I have for two or three weeks undergone much fatigue and have been broken of my regular sleeping hours. The health of the country does not seem to improve in the least. Cholera is still unabated, and seems rather on the increase." "The affair of the seas seems to have excited a great deal of interest in the neighborhood. I learned the fact of their having left - with the exception of [Join ?] the Louisville Democrat of week before last, They have succeeded in getting their names in the papers at all events.
