July, Friday 22, 1864<\/p>\n
We all were ready for Columbus quite late, rather late in our breakfast after last night’s dissipation. I was really sad at leaveing , so much happiness for my lonely life crowded into one short week. Met Col. Porter of Gen. Cheatam’s Staff at breakfast. We did not tarry long after our meal was finished, had a very dusty, disagreeable, warm ride to Columbus, and my heart was indeed sad to part with dear “waverly”\u2014Lou came in with us, oh! that dear, sweet girl, I do dearly love her. Therese alighted first\u2014we then came to the Hotel. Lou came and sat with us a while, I gave her my Photograph Album. Telegrams\u2014Hood has fought and whiped Sherman\u2014Grant has at last been relieved of his command, by the interposition of our divine Father. Flags all at half mast over the eventful news. God in his Wisdom will do all well. Went walking this eve with Therese and Lucy Harris. Company after Tea, and sat up very late. I am so unhappy\u2014and no one to confide, oh! God, have mercy\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
