June, Wednesday 1, 1864<\/p>\n
Tate had me awakened at daylight this morning\u2014they had some trouble and confusion before we started. I drove my Spring wagon, with Tate, Bettie, Robert and Nannie as passengers. Helen rode horseback on old McGruder\u2014Uncle Elam, Willie Perkins and Peter with the baggage went in the Wagon. We traveled very slow, arrived at Col. Perkins half past ten, with no accident, and a very pleasant trip, Mr. Read’s wagon had been waiting since daylight for them, so as quick as the baggage could be changed they started on for Dixie, and I hope are safe in Confederate lines tonight. Nannie and Harison stoped at Mr. Reid’s in Hernando last night, left at daylight. God forever protect her from the tyranny of her Mother and the Yankees, ’tis an awful step, but I trust it is right\u2014Mr. Wilson came to Col. Perkins some time after they had left, was very much disapointed at not seeing them, he, Mr.
\nCrawford, the children and I spent a very pleasant day. Mr. Wilson came some of the way with us, we had an awful time from Horn Lake in a thunder storm, arrived at home, found Father composed & satisfied. We all spent eve in the Parlor\u2014Laura and I all alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
