_Nov. 8._ I found C. had two men locked up in separate rooms
downstairs--there had been some trouble, and one, who was half drunk,
had used a knife. One man he let go, the other is still shut up, and
sent to see me this evening. It is dreadful to have such things
happening, but it will do good for the people to find that there is
some law over them.
Early in November Mr. Philbrick went down to Port Royal
again to gin and export his cotton crop.
