Jennie writes: "I think England will at no distant day 'acknowledge our Independence.' she has already acknowledged us as 'Beligerants' (sic) which amounts to pretty much the same thing. I think too that she will interfere with the 'Blockade' before long. I do not feel any way obliged to 'her Magesty' (sic) for I know she is not acting from 'disinterested motives.' If it was to her interest, she would crush us. (if she would). We want none of her 'assistance' except to 'acknowledge our Confederac[y].' I wish very much that the 'Southern Confederacy could be named either 'Washington' or 'Columbia.' I incline to the latter name."
