(Andrew Hull Foote’s daughter appears in the doorway. .
_________ lines (She doesn’t want him to go out, recuperating from a wound he received
in battle of Fort Donelson in Feb. 1862.)
Admiral Hull Foote appears at door.
Titus Moss : Congratulations, Admiral! I read that President Lincoln asked
Congress to vote a thank you for your service in the war so far.
Admiral Hull Foote: I am most appreciative of that, thank you, but this war is far
from over.
Titus Moss: Sir, I admire so much your efforts to rid us of the evil practice of
slavery.
Admiral Hull Foote: Have you read my book. __________________. The ship I
commanded off the coast of Africa was on a mission to stop the shipment of
slaves.
Moss: I will look for your book. I have listened to much news and speechifying about
the Rebellion including denunciations of slavery. Three lusty cheers were
given for that speech. I liked what the speechifier said but did not feel like
cheering and I kept still.
Foote
daughter: Come father, let’s be on our way, but slowly, Let the others go on
ahead.
