Bright & pleasant. Morris on board this morning - he told us that all the missing schooners were outside, the Col. Satterlie among the number on which the signal corps embarked. Lt. Reed of that corps came on board this evening. He said the fog that came on us in the Chesapeake, closed on them before they left Annapolis. They were anchored at Fortress Monroe during the storm - came opposite Hatteras Inlet last Wednesday - the storm of Thursday drove them out to sea, and took them clear across the gulf stream - they got back last night. Rodarmel told me [Saml?] Wilson was a Lt. in a Cavalry Company in Corman's regiment. We had notice a mail would go out tomorrow morning, & every one [?] himself tonight preparing letters - many no doubt, the last that they will send. North Snyder, among the rest brings one in to he sent to that little [darling?] [duck?] he never expects to see again, & perhaps this is the last he says.
