April, Friday 22, 1864<\/p>\n
All ready for breakfast this morning, notwithstanding the late hour of retiring last night\u2014they all spent a delightful evening\u2014the Bride looked beautiful, the groom charming, and all passed as merry as a marriage bell\u2014It was a great disapointment to me, but rather too much risk, a trip to Alton would not be very pleasant. I ventured with a thick vail on, to go up town this morning and purchase me a few articles which I would be compelled to have if I am banished, only went to one store\u2014Went to see Mrs. Worsham and Vine sent some letters to St. Louis to Mrs. Moore’s from\u00a0 her husband. Anna Nelson came after me, but the detectives have been looking for me today, and I was afraid to pass the Pickets. I have certainly escaped wonderfully. Mrs. Sommers seemed very much distressed that I could not get through\u2014we spent a very pleasant evening. Dr. Sommers and Mr. Goodwyn discussing the war, I enjoyed it very much, no anger or hard words, they both agreed to disagree, beat Mr. Clark three games of Chess,\u2014did not sit up very late. I am miserable for fear old Gibbert gets me at the Pickets tomorrow. God grant I may get through safe\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
