Tucker, Beverley [Dandridge], in Niagara, Canada West, to his father [Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, 1820-1890]. His brothers Rannie [John Randolph Tucker] and [Charles] Ellis [Tucker] went to Virginia for the summer. May displease his father because the government has done so much to embitter his life. His brothers are doing well in school. Rannie walked out of a lecture with other Southern students because a speech by Webster on slavery was to be read aloud. College supported Rannie's action. Confederate military men and other Southerners live in the area. Fenian Raid fiasco over. Observes tension between Canada and England. Sympathies divided over Prussia and Italy. Mentions "renewed trouble in Mexico, the empire is on the wane."
