April, Thursday 14, 1864<\/p>\n
A comparitively quiet day to yesterday, cold, cloudy and disagreeable. I have spent it with little use to myself, or any one else\u2014done no sewing at all. Mr. Rogers spent the day with us, brought no late news. Col. Overton and Anna Perkins came after dinner, staid a very short while\u2014Anna Nelson & Rebecka Robinson came by and borrowed a horse to go to Memphis\u2014we did not hear whether they returned or not\u2014indeed we have heard nothing\u00a0 reliable today. Father heard a rumor this evening that our Virginia Gen. (Robert Lee) had ruined the left wing of Grant’s Army\u2014God grant it may be so. Grant is a fool to think he can whip Gen. Lee. Gen. Stephen Lee is at LaGrange, Gen. Forrest still at Fort Pillow last account we had. God grant we may humbly receive the blessings which have brightened our little Confederacy, drive this wicked band from our Sunny land, give us liberty and peace\u2014oh! make us a Christian nation\u2014we have suffered, yet we deserved thy punishment, we humbly crave thy pardon, and beseech thy blessings\u2014The night spent as usual with me, sit in the Parlor with Father a short while after Tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
