May, Wednesday 4, 1864<\/p>\n
I have sewed buisy all day, finished my white braided swiss\u2014I think it is beautiful. Laura finished her new Calico, we both had to sew very late tonight to finish them. Bettie got sleepy and went home some time since\u2014We all had a considerable fright tonight\u2014by Anna Nelson sending to warn us of danger if any Confederate Soldiers were here\u2014so poor Johny, although he has spent the day in the woods, shouldered his blanket, took his Pa’s horse, and went to the woods. Cousin Frazor will stay in and take the chances. Capt. Floyd with 20 men passed about dusk, going across the creek, don’t know their destination\u2014the lines open this evening\u2014Joanna and Nannie got home\u2014no news of interest\u2014We are still victorious on all sides, the negroes have raised the black flag\u2014gone out on a raide after Forrest, and I will bet, but few will ever return,\u2014God grant not one life of our dear Soldiers will be sacrificed to those cowardly dogs. Oh! give us victory, that peace may once again smile on our Sunny land. God bless my poor old Father and dear Bros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
