March 15-21
Still not able to go to church ....We hear Sue is better. I've felt very uneasy about her. [Sue is pregnant.]....Dave turns up. He was in the last Cavalry fight in Culpepper on the 17th; had his horse killed under him [and] got his wrist badly hurt so he is disabled for a time. He ought to feel thankful that he came off so well. At one time he was a prisoner in the hands of the Yanks but was so fortunate as to escape from them and also took from them a fine war charger-an Old Campaigner too, having belonged to the old United States Cavalry service. I'm so glad Dave has the horse as he will not need to depend on a certain true? friend ....Dave brings us some Yankee coffee which we enjoy with Daddy's birthday dinner.
