213 - L. May 28; ed: 1/1,2 - Wallandigham occupies a suite of rooms at the
Hirons House in Windsor, Canada. His sitting-room windows face the
river, giving him a view of the water front of Detroit. He sits with
field glasses in his hand, watching all who cross on the ferry. All who
see him must have satisfactory introductions. About every three weeks
he makes a trip into the interior. Strange to say, no one crosses the
river to see him during his absence, but immediately upon his return his
room is full of guests. They are deserters from the Rebel army, Rebel
agents, spies and riff-raff of outlaws made up of Morgan's men.
"It may be observed, however, that if the accumulation of dirt is any
criterion of the exact locality of the (aegis), Windsor must certainly
be the place." - (17)
