Nov. 22-28
Do not attend Church. Cousin Howel has had a letter from Mr. Bacon. [James T. Bacon, his son-in-law, who lives in Brooklyn, New York.] He tells of the death of Miss Vallent's brother. [Louisa inserted below, mistake it was his brother who died] I feel for the dear little woman for I know how much he was to her. Send Mr. Sprigg some more poetry and another letter. Hope he won't think me troublesome. A good story on Mary Lewis. John sent a telegram to Sam informing him of Mary Lewis' and Sue's arrival in Ashland and by some means, it got into the papers. News this week that we've been whipped out West at Chattanooga. General Bragg has had to give up (his command).
