(Thinking Caps are no longer being issued but there must be a warehouse full of them somewhere.)
To: PeterPrinciple
Thanks, I was already familiar with that usage.
However, maybe it's just me, but a hoop dress (skirt?), particularly the one show, and ablutions, just do not seem to go together.

Congressional appropriations for 1859: $68 million. Of that, $31 million went to the Army and Navy.

John Brown to Franklin B. Sanborn et al, August 6, 1858 August 6. Have been down with the ague since last date, and had no safe way of getting off my letter. I had lain every night without shelter, suffering from cold rains and heavy dews, together with the oppressive heat of the days. A few days since, Governor Denver's officer then in command bravely moved his men on to the line, and on the next adjoining claim with us. Several of them immediately sought opportunity to tender their service to me secretly. I however advised them to remain where they were. Soon after I came on the line my right name was reported; but the majority did not credit the report.
I am getting better. You will know the true result of the election of the 2d inst. much sooner than I shall, probably. I am in no place for correct general information. May God bless you all!
Your friend,
JOHN BROWN.
