March, Sunday 20, 1864
Another Sabath passed, and I read only eight Chapters in my Bible—first of the Acts—I did not get up until rather late. Laura brought me a nice, warm breakfast to my room. I don’t know what I should do if it were not for her. A disagreeable day, cloudy, gloomy and real cold. I spent the morning alone in the Parlor reading. Mr. Wilson & Mr. Harbut arrived about 12 o’clock. No news, except that which we regreted very much. Gen. Chalmers relieved of his command, ordered to report to Gen. Polk, Misouri. McCulock takes his place—Forrest is on the wing again, no one knows where to—God bless Eddie and keep him safe, wherever they may go.
Tate, Nannie, Helen & Mollie Strange all went to Church—got back late of course, were delighted to see our Scouts. Mr. Wilson is going to Camp tomorrow, I am so sorry. I had a nice bundle of papers to send Capt. Henderson, one also to Dr. Moses. Oh! if I was only sleepy, and nothing to read—what shall I do—Laura, Beulah & Tip all asleep.
