May, Tuesday 31, 1864<\/p>\n
I slept very late this morning\u2014very buisy until dinner was ready packing and drawing off the pattern on Nannie’s swiss. Aunt Patsy sat in my room, just as we were going to dinner an Ambulance with Yankee escort rode up to the gate, Mrs. Perkins comeing for Nannie\u2014Nannie and Helen with Laura ran to the Woods, then followed a scene which I trust I may never witness again\u2014such excitement and confusion\u2014they scoured the woods for them, but no where to be found\u2014Nannie has not been back since – and I expect is in Senatobia tonight\u2014God guide and protect her. The Yanks staid about two hours & I think left disgusted with their trip, thinking, until we told them, they had come for a little child. Mrs. Perkins left in anger, swearing vengeance on Tate and Helen\u2014Poor Father, it has broken him down, he is sick in bed. They are all ready and hope to get off by daylight\u2014have mercy my dear Savior and spare my poor old Father any more excitement\u2014guide us aright\u2014and protect and shield our household\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
