May, Sunday 29, 1864<\/p>\n
Today has been an eventful one in the dull pages of my life\u2014Bettie awakened me, standing by the bed, with a hot cup of Coffee\u2014which I enjoyed very much, after refreshing myself with a cold bath.<\/p>\n
Mr. Wilson came by, with late despatches, letters and papers\u2014the latter containing news which paralyzed me for a while, oh! such a shock, yet I had expected it\u2014(At Arcola, Ala. April 27th. 1864, by Rev. Mr. Beckwith, G. A. Moses, P. A. C. S. to Miss Sallie S. Anderson, of Mobile, Ala.) there is a future, oh! thank God, thy will not mine be done\u2014in thee I trust, in thee I shall be saved\u2014<\/p>\n
Father went over to Mr. Bray’s, but failed to get a conveyance for me to go to Dixie in\u2014Helen and Nannie went over Nonconnah to get the bundles I forgot, and also to see Hal\u2014she has not all arrangements made, and will not be ready before Wednesday. Our news today is very encouraging\u2014thanks to the Almighty the day for our glorious Confederacy & independence is brightening. Packed today\u2014Laura & I spent the evening alone\u2014God bless my servant and take care of her. God bless and protect my dear Father and Brothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
