April, Friday 29, 1864
Joanna and Nannie went to Memphis early this morning, and have not returned yet, Father is very uneasy about them for fear they are in trouble with the Yankees—none have been out today. Maj. Crump spent the day in the woods again—another storm this evening which bro’t him home rather early, he came in my room where we were all buisy sewing—Tate is making Capt. Barber’s shirts,—Helen buisy getting ready to go South—which she thinks will be about the first of June. I have made “Dixie” five dresses, and have one to make yet, then I will have fulfilled my agreement for the privilage of naming her—Mr. Crawford spent the day with us, waiting for Nannie—Mr. Wesson left early this morning with his goods—we have no late, reliable news today. All spent the evening together in the Parlor. Father and I retired early, left Tate, Helen and Maj. Crump is there. All my little household together—Poor Beulah, I will always miss her.
