Maria Weston Chapman writes that "William Jay is safe & well, and Meade's staff have been thanked for their bravery." Captain Aschmitz(?) said that "William was the one for he did the whole as both he & his horse held out." The rest of the letter is concerned with directions for making dresses. They now have a basement where women work, whereas they used to be obliged "to break these women in at the other houses."
