May 7-13.
The Yankees are about quite often now but they seem to have had their fangs drawn for they disturb no one and appear harmless. Dave sends us a supply of newspapers both Yankee and Richmond Yankee. The whole North seems to be howling over Lincoln's death. The Army of Tennessee under Joe Johnston surrendered to General Sherman on the 26th of April at Raleigh, N.C. Dave has turned up in Albemarle again. He did not get off to Missouri as he hoped [and] is waiting for funds. He has not been home yet. My nose cold is very bad, makes me really sick. Much stir and talk among the "people of color" about their freedom. May it prove as great a blessing to them as they anticipate .... [Had visitors and] Dave at home again.
