May 8-14
No church. The fighting continues and Lee still victorious. We also hear that General [Frederick] Steel[e] and his army of 9000 Yankees have surrendered to our brave old General Price in Arkansas. General Dick Taylor has also been successful in Louisiana. Oh, that so many victories would but bring us peace ....Hear of the death of David Watson and James Magruder. The former died from wounds received in battle; the latter was killed instantly while commanding The Light Horse. We are in doubt as to Bob's fate. His company had been nearly all taken or killed. The [Scottsville] Greys are taken but were afterwards recaptured. Anxious times for all. I'm very poorly with my nose cold.
