May 28-June 3
Another Sunday of unrest. Oh, for some of the quiet peaceable days of yore!!! Fear they are never to come to us in our poor down trodden oppressed land. Charlotte and Mr. Randolph call one evening this week. My cold is no better. The news reaches us that [General Edmund] Kirby Smith has surrendered his command [all the Confederal Troops west of the Mississippi] to the federal govenment on the 26th of May. Well our last show for fight in the Southern Confederacy has gone now and we much acknowledge, galling as it is, that we are an over-powered and conquered people. The cherries are ripe and fine. A visit from Mr. Beach, the minister.
