July 23-29
Eliza is better. The cars run to town this week for the first time since the raid in March. The bridges have been rebuilt ....A long letter from sister Betty, also from Dr. Moses. They are very anxious for me to come up so Wednesday morning early I start off and walk up ....So much company but I don't enjoy it as they are really all strangers to me. Dr. Moses will leave on Tuesday next. I like him very much. Hope we may meet again. Lydia left Albemarle July 9th and as Dr. McGuffee met with a friend going direct to Missouri who took charge of her suppose she has reached home long ere this. I hear that Miss Vallant has arrived at Uncle Bobs. Oh, how I would enjoy seeing her. Don't know whether I am to have that pleasure. There seems to be so much bitter feeling afloat. I can't see or feel how and when she has done us so much wrong. I get home Saturday morning and find Eliza no better ....
