This has been an unpleasant, unhappy Sabbath—oh! we differ so in politics from Miss Em—I am afraid her visit will be miserable. Helen and Nannie went to Church—Col. Perkins came home with them, spent the evening. Capt. Wormely came over to spend the night, preparatory to leaving at daylight in company with Cousin Frazor and Johnie, poor John, he has not got him a horse, or his clothes—Mrs. Titus, his step mother, has treated him shamefully.
Miss Em had a talk with Nannie this evening, and she has been miserable ever since—I do not know what it is, but they are so widely different in Politics—I pray that Miss Em may not insist on Nannie leaveing . I shudder for the results, she says she will not go. We heard our Army in Va. was victorious—I pray that it may be so, and this horrible war closed. No communication with the City today, Miss Em speaks of going tomorrow—she has a free pass—she is sick in bed tonight—all retired very early—
