[from the diary of William M. Blackford, former diplomat, newspaper editor, banker and postmaster, Lynchburg, Va., with 5 sons in Confederate service]
To my dismay heard on wake-
ing the sound of rain. It fell in torrents
some hours and has carried off the snow
-leaving the ground thoroughly saturated &
the roads almost impassable--Our Discount
clerk, Camillus Christian --called by every
one "Jack", was married last night Mary
daughter of Jno T. Davis. I was invited
but did not think it would be seemly to go
Jack was at his post today as if nothing
had happened--Wrote to Eugene--no mail
from Richd, nor from Manassas or [?]
I read in Motley--
