May 10—Preach in camp. Second and Fourth regiments worship with us. General thanksgiving day for our late victory.1 The “victory” cost many lives. Many husbands left widows and orphans. When I made that point in my sermon, and gave number of widows and orphans left by those who fell in the 30th regiment, Gen. Grimes gave special attention, and stopped to speak to me after preaching, and said he wished he knew how many widows and orphans were left by all who fell in Lee’s army in the last battle I spend p. m. among wounded at railroad. Gen. Jackson dies at 3 p. m.2
