Aug. 26-Sept. 1
Am kept from church by a sore eye ....Read Prison Life of Jefferson Davis by Dr. Craven. It works me up to the
highest pitch of indignation against the cowardly mean Yankee nation. Their treatment of this Hero will be a
lasting stain of Yankee History. Monday we have the Miss Macons to call and Ellen Smith and Willie Minor to
dinner. Ellie seems very happy and is looking really pretty .... Company to dinner on Saturday ....Mammy [the
freedwoman has apparently been visiting her daughter Emily] returned from Ashland Wednesday.
