June 4-10
We are quieting a little; suppose we are getting used to the times. [This is] another proof of the wise Saul that we can get used to anything, even to taking off of our skins .... My cold quite well, it seemed to disappear in a night. My sympathies are all roused for our fallen Chieftain, Jeff Davis. The papers tell us that his captivity is attended with every severity and petty meanness that a Yankee can devise but the fallen hero will, I doubt not, rise above their indignities and show to the world how a true Patriot can suffer for his country. John arrives on Saturday.
