August, Sunday 28, 1864
Lou and I as usual too late for breakfast, We all spent most of the morning in the Octagon—Mr. Clapp and Col. Chambers making themselves
very entertaining—I do like Mr. Clapp so much—
Lou and I came up stairs, Lou occupied her time in writing to her Bro. Vallie – I of course in sleeping—
We had rather a discussion at dinner about Southern people taking the Oath of Allegiance to the Yankee Gov. Mr. Clapp had the advantage of the discussion, his view being strictly against it. The gentleman returned to Columbus after dinner, we spent the evening in slumber. Mr. & Mrs. Hamilton took Tea, and spent the evening with us. I do feel so uneasy about home, no news decisive from any portion of our Armyies
