At the time, Mark was 11 years old and his stepmother was visiting her family in Wilmington. This letter was sent to Augusta Hardin in care of Levin Lane, Esq. (1793-1863).

April 21st 1849","My dear Mother\nAs today is a holiday I thought I would write you a few lines telling you all the news.","Last night there was a very large fire, destroying two or three houses and injuring two or three very much, - the fire began about twelve o'clock and lasted about an hour. A stable was set on fire behind those taverns near the canal, the taverns caught and burnt very badly. There were also several pigeons burnt during the fire. I went up to father's office today and spent the day with him and I had a very fine time.","I heard that there was a very deep snow in Wilmington not long ago. We have had very bad weather too, one day it snowed and rained both.","Father has not determined to get the house near the Fraily's, but he will, if he does not get Captain Powell's near Gadsby's Hotel, he will know tomorrow whether Captain Powell will let him have his for $350 or not.","Father has been suffering for some time with the pain in his shoulder, but I am happy to say that he is getting a great deal better.","We have had two or three serenades since you have been gone. The gentlemen came in the parlor and played for almost an hour then went down the front steps and sat on the boxes and played Oh! Susannah, then they went away.\nGive my love to Your Mother and your sisters and Eddy. Miss Anna Tanney has gone to Philadelphia to take a little trip for the benefit of her health, which has been rather bad.\nAfter the cold spell we have had, it is now quite mild again.","Captain Powell's house has a great deal of nice fruit in the garden, which is a very pretty one.","And now as it is getting late I must end my letter.\nFrom\nYour Affectionate\nSon\nM B Hardin","P.S.Father is going to write you a few lines. Grand Father sends his love to you and Miss Virginia.","Apl. 24, 1849\nI have but a moment, my dearest wife, to put a short P.S. to your son's letter. He began it on Saturday, but did not finish it till last night. The mail closes early this morning so I must necessarily be short. I was quite disappointed last evening at not receiving a letter from you. I learned, however, that there was no mail south of Petersburg, which I suppose will account for your letters' not coming, as I take if for granted it was started in due time. Well, 'most two weeks have passed since you left us; they have passed quite heavily with me, \u0026 I begin to feel quite anxious for the hour of meeting to arrive. I am unable to say how soon I may be able to get off, for as yet, business seems to be increasing rather than falling off; but I will be better able to judge of the prospects when I answer your letter, which I expect tonight or tomorrow. In the near time, I hope you will enjoy yourself, and not get homesick or husband-sick. I have quite recovered from my attack, or rather I feel a great deal better. The pain in my breast and shoulder has \"left for parts unknown\" and I have no cough at all; so on the (subject?) of my health you need not be uneasy.","Best love to all the family.

I wrote to you about a month ago, and fearing irregularities of the mail, addressed the letter to care of Messrs. DeRosset \u0026 Co. Wilmington. I was exceedingly anxious to hear from you, (apprehending?) from your letter to Dr. Johnston that the family has been sorely troubled by the march of troops last spring. Your letter just received gives therefore great relief to the anxiety felt.","I told you in my last that the proceeds of sale of Alexa(ndria) property could not be gotten at first (?). The payments have not been completed \u0026 little or nothing can be done in the case until the November Court.","With regard to the funds in Washington - you and John have each have about $2300, which the court will order to be payed (sic) to your guardian.","Since writing to you, Judge Wylie has informed me that a guardian can be appointed here without the presence of John \u0026 yourself. Therefore if you choose not to have the matter deferred, I will see if the amount in the hands of the court cannot be obtained.","Phil is still your guardian in Va. \u0026 he may possibly get the money without further proceeding in the way of appointments, etc. I will not do anything until I hear from you, but let me know at once whether you wish the money sent on to you. It is at present invested in 7 3/10 bonds. See your Uncle Walter \u0026 Grandma \u0026 ask their advice.","Let me know what disposition you wish made of the money. I have written this, for fear that you and John may have immediate wants. Tell me also whether you have yet a guardian in North Carolina.","I will not be able to visit you for some time, my dear Sue, as I am yet unemployed \u0026 can not think of traveling just now. If I should be fortunate enough to get something to do, I hope to run down and see you all this fall or in the winter. Everything is so compromising, that it is enough to depress anyone. I will keep you constantly informed of my movements and hope soon to tell you that. I am no longer a gentleman of elegance \u0026 leisure.","Address all your letters for the present to care of Dr. W.P. Johnston. Your affectionate remembrances of Grandfather \u0026 the family are highly appreciated and all returning most warmly their love to you \u0026 John. Write often Sue \u0026 do not be ceremonious.
