[from the diary of William M. Blackford, former diplomat,editor, and bank officer, Lynchburg, Va., with five sons in the Confederate Army]
Thursday Bright mild day. Martins have
made their appearance. the day has
passed without any exciting rumor
or telegram. It is the calm which
precedes the storm and is even por=
tentious--Chas. & Sue dined with us
but in consequence of the expected arri
-val of Richd Davis children with
their Uncle Eugene, went home. The
children however did not come
arranged finally the pictures in the
Parlor, in, I think, the best possible
manner. The effect is very good.
