[from the diary of William M. Blackford, of Lynchburg, Va., former diplomat, newspaper editor and bank officer, with 5 sons in the Confederate Army]
Tuesday 25 clear & cold--variously engaged
I have been for ten days past a sort of
Housebroker, getting refugees place of abode.
It has been troublesome--but my sympathies
are much enlisted on their behalf. I have
rendered some service & recd many expressions
of gratitude--Mrs. Rob. Saunders and her little
son arrived for dinner--Cold very bad, wrote
yesterday to Charles & today to Eugene.
