Brussels October Monday 20 / 62
My darling Willie left me today with Pa. The last dispatches from Richmond were for Father, neither Mason or Slidell receiving any. Pa was requested to leave immediately for Copenhagen, and represent to Mr Hall, (minister of foreign affairs) the treachery of which we suspected the Yankees in sending Confederate slaves to the Danish possessions in the West Indies, under the pretense they had been captured on Slavers. Willie acted as Pa’s secretary and they were delighted with their success, Mr Hall, receiving them as if our country had already been recognized.
