Excerpt from A Chaplain's Campaign With Gen. Butler My son died the first week in June and his mother, broken down with grief and care, was sick nearly all the Summer; so much so, that at one time she was hardly expected to live. I was also very much out of health myself, from the effects of a bilious intermittent fever, contracted while on duty in south-carolina. About the middle of June, I wrote to Mr. Van N ostrand, to know if any instructions had come for me from General Gillmore. He replied that none had come, and if any should come he would notify me at once. Not very long after this, General Gillmore was relieved of his command of the Tenth Army Corps, so that I was no longer subject to his order.
