March, Thursday 24, 1864<\/p>\n
I slept very late this morning\u2014had breakfast in my room\u2014I would rather have slept than have the choicest dishes from old Schwab’s. Ready at last, arrived in the Parlor, found Jim & Mr. Pugh with the girls having a nice time\u2014spent the morning fixing my old Bombazine dress. Enjoyed my dinner finely, did not stay in the Parlor very long after dinner, came to my room and prepared for a nice evening siesta with London Papers for my companion\u2014soon fell into the arms of Morpheus, slept soundly, but have had no spirit since awakening. Joanna got back from Memphis, bringing Mammy to see Prince. Anna Nelson will ride her Boo, a horse, through the lines tomorrow. Mr. Harbut came early this eve, I left them all in the Parlor\u2014Father allows them to sit up late, as he is reading the papers\u2014I got tired and came to my room, but found it very cheerless, no fire, smoking. Laura, Beulah & Tip all asleep\u2014oh! I am so lonely\u2014I feel a presentiment something good is going to turn up for the Confederacy\u2014God bless my dear Bros, and bring them safe home again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
