June 19-25

In church. Monday I get home in Cousin Peggy's carriage. Find the Yanks had not hurt any of them. John still here. A deal of company this week. We are all quieting down about the Raiders. The mails are coming in again and we have the good news that they (The Yanks) had been whipped at all points. Oh, how blessed we have been. All around us we may say they have gone but we have been spared and spared oh, how much, for the heart sickens at the account of outrages committed by the barbarians, for they well deserve the name, in all places that have been visited by them.
