Just heard of the birth of General Jackson's daughter: as
much talk and ado about it almost, as if it were a little princess!
Unexampled drought! Not rain enough yet to enable the
farmers to seed; consequently they cannot sow half crops. What is to become of
the country? The fear is that there is not enough food in it to keep the people
from starving.
