Maitland?. Emily, Baltimore, Maryland, to Sister Catharine Seton, New York, New York, 1861 August 29

Sister's letter was delayed as it was mis-directed. Bishop Augustine Verot Verrot called on Emily and requested her to ask General Scott for a pass for himself, his priest, and deacon, which she did as she also did for Sister's nephew. The paper states all vacancies are filled; Emily is afraid it stands a bad chance. Their Reverend Mother is very low. The Confederate array is advancing and they may not be in existence in a few days. Emily wants to send her plate to Philadelphia. Her dear Carroll? is no better; he has five interesting children, the eldest is 7. Emily is very feeble and rarely goes out in her carriage. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.
