Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney writes to J. Mason Campbell and provides an update on his travel plans. Campbell should expect Taney and his wife to arrive [in Baltimore?] on Tuesday morning because Mrs. Taney is not well enough to make the journey tonight (Friday). Taney notes that his wife has been made weak with grief and worry: "The loss of dear little Lizzie & the fears for dear Anne have utterly overcome my poor wife -- and you can hardly imagine what a wreck it has made of her." Transcript included.
