My dear Wife
Yours of the 15th came over by the boat this morning and I am sorry that you had not received any of my letters before you wrote But I know you must have got one by Mr. Lewis and I hope you will be down with him in time to come over on the boat that leaves the city on Wednesday night. As there is some doubt your getting this before you leave if you come then I will not write much. The news is disponding but it is no time to give up. Now is the time to stand square up to the question and look the issue plainly in the face. I never intended to talk about giving up until part of our company is whipped and part killed & the balance prisoners. For as long as there is any loose with a weapon there is still hope. We have had some little excitement consequent on their bringing in some of the prisoners from the New London. We buried one behind our camp that was killed by an oysterman last Thursday night. The Oysterman made himself quite a hassel of the Exploit. I would write you a description of the affair only I know that you will see a detailed account of it in the papers before you see this.
No news here we are all well. I am going to church in a few minutes. It is one of the loveliest days you ever saw. Mr. Carter will be on the boat as you come over & I told him to introduce himself to you and you would be glad to see him. I spent the evening there last evening and had a very nice time. I wrote you by the last boat that I have got Mrs. Easterbrooks home for you to stay in while here. The main reason why I want you to come so bad with Mr. Lewis is that there is to be no more furloughs given and you would not get another good chance. If they send us from here you would go with us to New Orleans. And if they kept us here you could stay. I am sorry to leave our home all alone. But it is this war. If the War winds down I can fix it up to leaf with you. If it does not end soon it makes no difference. And if I am to be killed in it I want you to be with me as much as possible while you can.
Tell E______ that her Pa wants to see his bad rascal mighty bad. Tell Milton that he must be a good boy & learn his books & Pa will love him &^ bring him & Irky? some thing good when he comes home from the War if they are both good boys.
Kiss them all for me & take a thousand for yourself from your affectionate husband. James A. Houston. (VF Houston) Houston, W. T., Chancellor- The application for a receiver for the Gulf Coast Homestead and Building Association of Bay St. Louis, was heard by Chancellor Houston last Tuesday and after a trial which lasted all night, a compromise was agreed upon by the attorneys in the case, and a decree entirely satisfactory to all parties concerned. There are few judges or chancellors in the State who would voluntarily travel the distance from Ellisville to Bay St. Louis and sit all night trying a case to accommodate litigants and attorneys as did Judge Houston in this case. Chancellor Houston, by his uniform courtesy to the bar and to the public, and by the ability and fairness displayed by him in his rulings, has rendered himself extremely popular with those of our citizens who have made his acquaintance and especially with the members of the bar.

Houston, W. T., Chancellor, presided here in Chancery court, which convened Monday. The term is a short one and things are quiet around the courthouse. (SCE 7/29/1893)
Howard, Mrs. Alex, WHT POL 0, FPC 0, SLV 4. (Hancock County, Mississippi Tax Rolls 1820, VF Tax Rolls)
Howard Association - The Howard Association was formed in New Orleans during the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1839 and was composed mostly of Clerks who were not willing to be taxed for a duty to which they were so enthusiastically disposed.
The duties were to attend the sick, procure medical aid and also funds for the destitute and afflicted families. During the epidemic of 1853 this Association again became active and the first day's subscription was $15,000.00.
In 1878 this Association came again to the front and rendered valuable service to the people of New Orleans and Bay St. Louis by rendering aid, furnishing medical aid, etc. Some of our prominent citizens at that times were members. (WPA-1937 "The Diary of a Samaritan"- William L. Robinson, a member of the Howard Association of New Orleans publishers Harper & Bros.NY. MJS-BSL-11)
Howard, Mrs., of New Orleans, was a guest of Dr. and Mrs. L. H. vonGohren last Sunday. (SCE 11-18-1893)
Howards, The (Perhaps Permenas Howard, the M.E. preacher) Rev. A. B. Nicholson, writing from Pearlington October 23, 1878 says "Yellow fever has been in this town ever since the first of August. It has visited this place several times, but has never been an epidemic, in the common acceptation of that word, though it proved fatal in nearly every case, so it has this year. No new cases at this date. Business of all kinds has stopped; church matters suspended; Sunday-school stopped; our flock scattered - some have crossed the last river, mostly young people. Logtown, two miles above here, a small place of not more than two hundred inhabitants has been awfully scourged by the fever, in fact I question whether any place in the South has suffered more than Logtown, according to its population. While the entire population has been prostrated; the death rate very heavy. In that community we had a new and beautiful church, a respectable congregation, Sunday-school and Missionary Society; but alas, how sad to-day. Our steward there Bro. Robert Carrie, a noble Christian gentleman, was among the first to fall victim to the disease, and none left to take his place. The fatality has been in the main among the young people. Gainesville is eight miles above Logtown. When I was there last but two cases were reported. The white population is almost gone. We Quarantined, but too late; the fever was in our midst before we began the work. We have a yellow fever doctor with us doing a good work. Nurses have been sent by the Howards. Our local physician, Dr. Mead, though born and educated in the north met the monster face to face, with a moral heroism that entitles him to a great praise. We have today cold north wind." From the Christian Advocate, New Orleans, October 26, 1878 (PC&C p 38)
