March 19-25
A bright beautiful day but no church as we can't get over the river. Fear we will get to be very heathens as I see no prospect for attending church for a while. Eliza continues very ill. Sue and Peggie Taylor both help to nurse her. Monday John Trice comes home. It seems he had no intention of going to the Yanks but high water and sickness kept him away so long. Eliza is better after Monday. Do some gardening during the week. Thursday the 23rd Dave arrives from the South. He is off on sick furlough and has been very ill and still looks badly. Tells us much of the Southern kin, their kindness to him, etc. Saturday the 25th is Ma's 72nd birthday. She is getting slowly over her fall; fear she will never be so active again.
