April 17-23
No church. The Army still passing. How sad to think of how many of the soldiers now so full of life and hope but marching to certain death. Many heads will soon lie low and Oh, the aching hearts at home .... Sue, Mary Lewis, John, Eliza and Co. get up on Monday. The baby has grown some but she is still a very small bit .... Sam says goodbye to me on Saturday as he goes to Western Virginia to join his company. He is in [General Micah] Jenkins Command. I feel quite attached to the boy. I hope he may be safe.
