Julia Blanche Kell writes to Kell's sister, Evy. She mentions Kell's mother and his sister Mary. She discusses a stylish new bonnet she has recently sent to Evelyn, which "is quite moderate. I think my summer bonnet is higher," and offers to send fabrics from Macon Mills to Kell's mother and sisters. On August 18, she mentions a letter from Kell "dated 'Bahia' 20th of May." She writes that Kell has reported "they have destroyed 47 vessels of the enemy," including the Hatteras. She says that Kell thinks "the Yankees will be quite ready for peace -- how mistaken he is poor fellow!" Julia's brother "Nath went off in Col Nesbit's regiment to Quincy, Fla, this morning."
