Key West Florida Thursday Jan. 12. 1864. [i.e. 1865]<br />My dear Mother<br />My hands are rather shaky, have<br />scarcely yet attained the firmness of dry land, but having<br />safely set my feet with a skip + jump of delight on<br />this little piece of terra, I make if my first business to<br />express gratitude by a letter to you. <br />We arrived at the Key and made fast to the wharf about<br />8 o’clock this morning just a week to an hour from<br />the time of weighing anchor and steaming through<br />the narrows of New York Bay. <br />Our first day out was fin though cold, and we<br />skirted the Jersey coast in quite comfortable style. But<br />as night drew on and the ship made off from land, sad<br />symptoms of the “vomito” appeared among the passengers. <br />I was attacked among the first in regular banditto fashion<br />by some spirit of the vasty deep who whispered in my<br />ear, “your supper or your life”! I felt very poor very<br />reduced in my circumstances next morning, but was<br />cheered somewhat when the sun rose + sea grew less<br />turbulent, with a hope that for me the battle was over. Mistaken<br />youth! The wind freshened, + hauling ahead was soon<br />blowing a gale right in our teeth, and the “Fort Morgan” <br /><br />[Page 2] <br />rolled, pitched, tossed her head and snorted like a donkey in<br />distress. I ran to my kennel tumbled into bed and lay<br />there forty eight hours without stoppoing. Of the thirty officers<br />who took passage to the Gulf nearly all were sick, and<br />most of the ward-room servants ditto. one poor little “nig.” and<br />the steward alon escaping the latter only by keeping himself<br />primed with whiskey. One of the officers tried the same<br />preventive, but barely succeeded in drinking himself into<br />the tremens. He reports himself to the naval surgeon here<br />to day for treatment. Of personal mishaps I had few, <br />once my bed broke down, and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">stayed</span> down thirty six hours for<br />want of strength in me or any aid to put it up, and once a<br />sea broke through the dead light completely drenching my<br />mattress and body, clothing, striking me full in the face<br />with such force as nearly to knock me out of my birth. <br />I had no dry change within reach, no choice but to lie down again<br />all wet as I was and sleep myself dry. Those were dismal<br />days to all of us, and more disagreeable I scarce ever<br />experienced on sea or land. The passage to Key West has been<br />unusually rough and long, and not until yesterday were we<br />favored with 24 hours of melting sun shine. Then as we<br />entered the straits of Florida the air grew soft + the sea<br />charming. The last trace of rudeness passed off, and for<br />the first time since Thursday last I sat down to a<br />satisfactory meal, indeed it was my first appearance at table.<br /><br />{Page 3}<br />The ordeal was over, a tough one, but much needed, + well<br />adapted to fit me for life in the gulf. I began with a <br />“clean record” and shall endeavor henceforth to steer clear<br />of the Bilious Reefs. Today, I am quite well and strong. <br />Have taken a walk on the Island, and strolling away<br />to the military barracks fell in with a lieutenant who<br />politely asked me in and has furnished me with the<br />writing table and materials I am now using for you. <br />This is a very pleasant place for troops in Winter, <br />quartered in any buildings close upon the beach but<br />in summer exposed to Yellow Fever. Twelve or Fifteen<br />officers of this regiment (the 20 US Colored) died here<br />the last sesason from that disease. We shall remain<br />in port one two or three days to take in coal + discharge<br />freight. Our next stopping place after three days<br />sail will be Pensacola, + the enxt Mobile Bay. From<br />the latter shall probably be transferred by despatch<br />boat to New Orleans, whicle the Fort Morgan pursues<br />her course to the coast of Texas. Lo in the distance I<br />dimly see my own “Vincennes”. and though I rather wonted<br />now to this unsettled life, I look forward with pleasant<br />anticipation to a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">home</span> even on a ship, a room, a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">corner</span> that<br />for one month at least I may call my own. <br />I must go again now + finish my soup, take a good <span style="text-decoration:underline;">bath</span><br />if I can find it, + get a taste of Havana Banannas. <br /><br />[Page 4] <br />It is the wrong season for cocoanuts, trees are plenty here<br />but the nuts are small + green. The Steamer “Empire City” <br />arrived close in our wake + today or tomorrow will proceed<br />on her way to New Orleans, with the Key West Mail. <br />This letter must go in her bag and may reach you in two<br />or three weeks. Very likely at the same time you will<br />receive another dated “New Orleans” or on board the<br />“Vincennes”. You of course will keep me informed of Henry’s<br />plans, doings + state as to health, should he not do so<br />himself, and he may consider my letter to you as half<br />his own. I hope he will do the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">best</span> thing, whatever it may<br />be, remembering that the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">best</span> is always <span style="text-decoration:underline;">cheapest</span>, though<br />the first cost be a little greater. <br />I have some agreeable travelling companions and<br />anticipate a pleasant remnant to the trip. Many officers<br />leave us at this point, so the ship will be less crowded. <br />My love to Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Julia ect. and <br />all the Washington friends who wish it. I think there<br />will be “enough to go around”. <br />Your aff. Son<br />P.O. Address A.A Pay’r Cornelius B.

U.S.S. Stockdale<br />Mobile Bay. March 5. 1865<br />My dear Mother<br />I am just in my room, from an<br />hours lounging outside, my head full of stories fuming + earnest<br />that have poured in at both ears from the voluble officers of the<br />“Stockdale”, the topics mostly religious, + the scenes laid in New<br />Orleans + Port Royal, Connecticut + Kansas, touching the skirts<br />of rebeldom in its whole circumference. Together we are a walking<br />Epitome of the universal Yankee nation, and have circulated through<br />many of the arteries of this little Globe. When I left the company, <br />the conversation was verging into a theological discussion for which<br />tonight I have no desire. I hear them now plunging into the waters<br />of the “Flood: and hailing Noah’s Ark with a nautical “What ship is<br />that”? and they cannot quite decide whether to call it “Phantom”, <br />“Flying Dutchman”, or the veritable “Ark of safety into which went<br />Noak + his wife his sons + his sons’ wives + the cattle. Perhaps our<br />talk may take a more practical shape by and by, when preparations<br />are complete, and the fleet moves toward Mobile, the time for<br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">action</span> at hand. To see the gathering forces of army + navy + feel<br />the pulse of its daily gaining strength, makes me certain of success. <br />Yet I have been thinking today how easily our very ground for hope<br />(superior numbers) might become the means of disaster, should the favor<br />of God not be with us, how easily he might let send a pestilence upon the<br /><br />[Page 2] <br />herded thousands, and destroy our overweening confidence by <span style="text-decoration:underline;">disease</span>.<br />A few hundred yards distant from us, lies an infected steamer, <br />cut off from all communication with the fleet, flying a yellow flag<br />which says to all approaching boats, “<span style="text-decoration:underline;">keep off. small Pox</span>”! It is no<br />special cause for alarm + gives none, but that yellow flag in her<br />midst, is to me a constant reminder of a Higher Power than our own, <br />reliance upon which can alone make victory sure. <br />There is a probability that Admiral Thatcher will select the “Stockdale” <br />as his Flagship in the attack on Mobile, indeed I believe has already<br />chosen it, though he may change. Whether in that case I shall be allowed<br />to remain on her is very doubtful, as with any clerk, office, + the stores<br />for my vessels, I monopolize more room than may well be afforded<br />on the Flagship of an Admiral. This boat is certainly not selected<br />for its war-like properties, but its commodious quarters + light<br />draught of water, being built to navigate over shallows + scrape<br />the sandy bottoms. This reminds me of my experience the past<br />week on my return from New Orleans, where I passed several days on<br />business + seeing the city. We were thirty six hours reaching the<br />Bay, when ordinarily it takes <span style="text-decoration:underline;">15</span>. A heavy fog blinded the pilot<br />so that he completely lost his way. We ran aground <span style="text-decoration:underline;">six times</span><br />on the passage, at last landing high up on a hard bottom, where<br />we stuck all night. It is well there are no rocks on this coast, <br />as it is, we only laugh when the keel goes grinding through an<br />oyster bed and the bivalves bite our bottom. A mosquito were not<br />less harmful. This is a great country for oysters! Aunt Julia ect<br />should happen here after a hard headache, she might feast on the fat of the sea. <br /><br />[Page 3] <br />March 8. The Admiral comes on board tomorrow with his<br />staff. Such an addition to the family knocks us all askew, + we<br />must expect no little discomfort as the price of the honor, being<br />crowded into half the space we held before. Besides this we must be<br />constantly on our good behavior, skinny boots, uniform + so on, <br />and sleep in our dress coats instead of nightgowns. We all groan<br />at the prospect, from Captain to Cabin Boy, and as for me I begrudge<br />every inch of room of which I shall be deprived, as a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">business</span> necessity. <br />My duties are rather arduous though not too much for me, with<br />my clerk, and occupy brain + fingers uninterruptedly from<br />morning till evening. The necessity of visiting my vessels is<br />a good thing for me. I assure you I am much better pleased with<br />this busy port, than with the life of “inglorious ease” to which I<br />looked forward on the “Vincennes”. Mobile is not yet evacuated, <br />but we look for that event shortly + at the point of the bayonet. <br />so much vaster plans are a foot farther north, so much<br />nearer + louder sound the guns from the armies of Grant +<br />Sherman, that I know to you the taking of Mobile seems a slight<br />affair + of scarcely more account than the capture of a rebel outpost<br />at the James. But even here you might see no insignificant<br />movement in progress . I suppose that in addition to the<br />formidable fleet, there are fifty or sixty thousand men in this<br />vicintiy, + gathered for a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">purpose</span>. What that purpose is, we<br />must time will unfold. The mail came again to<br />day. My second intelligence from home, + this time as before a package<br />of back letters, three of them from you, + two of Henry’s, one also<br /><br />[Page 4] <br />from Martha. I am grad she is so good about writing to you<br />She tells me of Bertie’s illness + that Uncle Winthrop seems<br />improved under the “Movement Cure”. Poor little Bertie has<br />had a tiresome time of it, and I know well enough that the<br />nurses too are worn + weak with their watching. They must be. <br />If only they might <span style="text-decoration:underline;">all</span> be well and strong! Why are some<br />people forever ill, or burdened with the sickness of others most<br />dear to them! God setteth the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">feeble in families</span> I think. <br />Henry is testing the cold March of Massachusetts. I am no<br />little anxious for its effects upon him, though a trouble that<br />settles so firmly in his digestive organs would see proof to weather<br />or anything beside meat and drnk. I hope that Dr. Dio. will<br />give him more personal attention than he appears to devote to<br />most under his care. It seems to me his reatment is better<br />adapted to preserve the healthy than heal the sick. <br />It is after my bed time, and I must not dissipate even in<br />this filial way. You will certainly agree that it is better to keep<br />fresh for work, that spend undue time or strength in writing letters,<br />when to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">do both</span> is out of the question. But I will try not to<br />neglect you whatever may be my course toward others. <br />I <span style="text-decoration:underline;">like</span> to write any friends when I can do so. It makes life<br />richer + sweeter to share even the bitterness of it with those<br />we love. Thank Mary Smith for her letter + Cousin Abbie Guinn<br />for the wee note of remembrance. These things are not lost upon me. <br />My love to aunt Mary Brude + remember me to Mrs. Mitchell. It<br />is kind of them to inquire after me. <br />Your aff. Cornelius

U.SS. “Kittatinny”<br />Off Mobile April 9, 1865<br />My dear Brother<br />Since you are home again<br />I see no impropriety in varying the address of my home<br />letters occasionally from mother to brother. The change<br />need not entail upon you the necessity of replying. As<br />my own letters in these days to one of you, must answer for<br />both, so, though the sight of your hand writing is pleasant, I<br />am contnt to have mother tell the whole tale of the family. <br />You must expand your spare strength in rubbing up that<br />valuable but unruly body of yours. I hope you will lose no<br />time in securing a good “groom: to assist at that business, <br />+ let no motives of false economy keep you from any help<br />to health, that the “wealth of the Indies” would bring over<br />Churchhill. Just now you are happy in the healing presence<br />of our good sister Martha. I am grlad she can be a little<br />while with you. I have a little smack of her sweetness to<br />night in a twin note to mother;s that came with it. A<br />slight tremor of moesickness came over me as I broke the<br />seal, just enough to lessen my love for the writers. Yet no such<br />assurance was needed. The longer I live, and the farther<br />from home, the dearer it grows I believe I do not wish to be weaned<br /><br />[Page 2}<br />from it. When that is gone, there is little left in this world<br />but <span style="text-decoration:underline;">hope</span> for the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">other</span>, the “glorified body” of this. <br />You see how I am shifted about here from one ship to another<br />no settled place of abode, not half so independent as a<br />“squatter soveraign”, for no sooner do I get fairly squatted, <br />than some “big-wig” claims the spot for his own, + hoists<br />the flag of an admiral or erects a hospital. I was on<br />board the “Tallahatchie” when two monitors + a tinclad were<br />sunk by torpedoes. It was her fate to be chosen as a transient<br />home for the sufferers. A proper selection, she is so large<br />and comfortable. And surely we aught not to begrudge our<br />little convenience to the wounded + dying, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">dead</span> now some of<br />them no doubt. The tin-clad “Rodolph”, was built like the<br />“Stockdale” + “Tallahatchie”, and it was my choice to be ordered<br />to her on leaving the “Stockdale”. Fortunately she was about the<br />day I changed, and being hindered from going to her, I was<br />saved perhaps from <span style="text-decoration:underline;">sinking</span> with her. It seemed a double<br />providence to me, for the “Tallahatchie” would have gone instead<br />of the Rodolph that day, had not her fires just been extinguished<br />for some slight repairs, and, as matters stood, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">probably</span> have<br />struck the same torpedo. We all have a horror of these<br />ugly concerns, and always return with relief from a cruise over<br />the haunted waters. But there are no more such cruises for me. <br />The “Kittatinny” lies quietly at anchor day in and day out, while<br />the hungry fleet come to her for bread. She is a neat, pretty<br />affair with five wide mouthed guns, four broadside, and<br /><br />[Page 3] <br />a thirty pounder Parrott Rifle on the quarter deck that “turns<br />every way”. Then there is a spunky little brass howitzer<br />mounted forward. Altogether we are very war-like, and very<br />peaceable too. Our pet kitten + squirrell attest the last<br />quality, for don’t they run about deck all they please +<br />love each other like Barnums snakes + monkeys! The<br />Stockdale + Tallahatchie were even more domestic, one having<br />goats + pigs roaming at will, and the other, pigs and a puppy<br />that lived on the most amicable terms + were accustomed to<br />a regular frolic with us on the hurricane deck before dinner. <br />I fear the poor piggies have gone the way of all pork before<br />this. Today our flads float for a double victory, <br />are by the army here over rebel works that were bulwarks to<br />Mobile, + that being taken, ensure the speedy face of that place. <br />All night we could see the flash + hear the thunders of the<br />fight. At day-light all was still + the Union flag floating<br />over the fortress of our enemies. Though the navy could render<br />little assitance, I do not feel myself deprived of a share<br />in the glory by that fact. I claim yet to be a citizen of the<br />army. An infinitely greater cause of rejoicing, is the<br />fall of Richmond! The end of the war seems near, and<br />an end of which Americans may be prout. No news ever<br />thrilled the land as I think this must today, nor ever one<br />with more delight , unless it be the final proclamation of <br />perfect peace. I may have mentioned in my first<br />letters home from the Gulf, the name of Paymaster Brinckerhoff<br /><br />who came passenger in the “Fort Morgan” with one. We had a<br />room together. By the last paper from New Orleans, I learn<br />that he has accidentally shot himself with a revolver, the<br />wound “dangerous but not mortal”. I hope he may recover, +<br />was sorry enough to read of his misfortune. This is the<br />second time within two months that his pocket pistol has<br />nearly been the death of him. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">I</span> may be <span style="text-decoration:underline;">tempted</span> to use<br />one, if many more boats are given me to care for. My hands<br />are already as free as they can hold with the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">seven</span><br />but only yesterday another steamer was added to the list, <br />and I learn that the accounts of a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">ninth</span> are on the way to<br />me. The tug paymaster of this fleet has no sinecure<br />position I assure you. In place of the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">one steward</span> that<br />I supposed would be my whole allowance of aids, I have had<br />a clerk + five stewards, with need of more, a steward on<br />each vessel to take charge of stores. I shall be grateful<br />when Mobile <span style="text-decoration:underline;">us</span> taken, and this fleet scattered, if so I<br />may get rid of part of the mosquito fleet, but I<br />anticipate no such relief at present. Do not imagine<br />from this that I am sick of my bargain. I should not<br />be a sailor if I could not growl, and one of these days<br />I may look back to mobile Bay as a sort of Paymaster’s<br />Elysium. I shall at least have the satisfaction of having<br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">earned</span> my porridge – no small item to my mind. <br />Mother need not despair of her letters reaching me or count the<br />writing of them lost. They do come, only with great irregularity. Lately<br />the mails are improving. Your aff. Cornelius
