Writing from Louisville, Kentucky, where intestinal illness has delayed his travel, he describes his treatment with brandy, mustard seed poultices, and morphine. He also mentions seeing “our cousins” in New Albany, Indiana, and the determination of the Southern Methodist Convention, then meeting in Louisville, to “separate from the free states.”
