April, Saturday 30, 1864<\/p>\n
Laura brought my breakfast to my room\u2014very late\u2014everybody slept late this morning – Raining, raining, raining\u2014oh! such a gloomy day as it has been. Joanna & Nannie have not come yet. Nonconnah is swimming, but Father is miserable for fear that is not what keeps them.<\/p>\n
Maj. Crump left about 10 o’clock, we have not heard how he got through, but heard of no scouts, and reckon he is all right, some where in Panola tonight. Mr. Bray brought Nannie a letter from Dashiell, all of the fords on Nonconnah are heavily picketed\u2014the Gurrilla’s ambushed a scouting party of fourteen, at Pigeon Rooste crossing on yesterday, killing the Yankee’s three horses\u2014wounding two Yanks and capturing three and one horse, only six out of the crowd got back to Memphis\u2014 they are very much exasperated\u2014the lines have been closed since, and that may have detained the girls\u2014hurrah! for the Dick Davis and his band\u2014I hope they may break into this thieving band of Yanks roving over the Country\u2014both of Helen’s little pups died today\u2014<\/p>\n
