Isaac L. Taylor: May 13, 1863

Henry (left) and Isaac Taylor (December 1861).

Clear & warm in AM. Clouds up & sprinkles a little in P.M. I finish reading Hitchcock's Geology. We hear that "Stonewall" Jackson died at 3-30 P.M. of the 10th. inst., from wounds reed, in the late battle. He had his left arm amputated. I send to Philp & Solomons "Metripolitan Book Store" 332 Pa. Avenue, Washington D.C. for Wood's Botany. "The decrease of the mean temperature from the equator towards the poles is nearly in the proportion of the cosines of latitude." Hitchcock's Geology, Pg. 306.
