March 14-18
We have no certain news of the enemy. Hear they are going towards Richmond. We have no mails from that place as the Yanks are somewhere on the railroad. We hear our Cavalry are after them. We hear a rumor that we have whipped Sherman south. God grant that it may be true. John starts for Richmond the middle of the week, via Lynchburg. He will have to do some walking on the way as the road has been much injured. Little Eliza very sick after he leaves. Poor little thing, she suffers so much. It would be a mercy for her to be taken. Ma is getting much better. Spring is coming on very fast. The flowers are blooming out and looking so charming and hopeful.
