Drayton does not expect Foote to survive until tomorrow. He has heard that there is an intention to try and attack Charleston again, but not until after the squadron has been greatly strengthened. He also reports that everyone is pleased to hear of John Rodger's capture of the Fingal. Drayton also expresses disgust at the current popular opinion in New York concerning the Union's recent setbacks in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He observes that partisan animosity runs so high that many people would care little about the loss of Pennsylvania so long as it resulted in the humbling of the Lincoln administration.
