Little Frank waked me up this morning bright and early, I managed to get up and send Nellie, (who was with him) to the kitchen for his breakfast, he is prettier every time I look at him. Laura did not get to washing my clothes until 11 o’clock, but finished all except three dresses and has done them beautifully. Annie Nelson & Missie Morgan came out this evening—though the lines are closed, I don’t know whether Mrs. Hudghins went in or not, if she did not, I don’t know what I am to do about the things I sent for. I finished my Peasants waiste , and think it beautiful. Oh! I am so unfortunate, and unhappy—I pray for patience and submission.
No later news from Va. or Ga. I did not go in the Parlor after Tea,—the rest all spent a pleasant evening I suppose—my heart is too full to venture in company. I put little Sallie and Frank to bed.
