Monday, April 15th, 1861


To day the steamer Lucy Guin passed up the river with a good freight. The river is still rising. Dr. W.G.W. Jowers called to see me who looks in fine health and who is now doing busines for several houses in New Orleans. weather cloudy & very cold with a hard rain at night.
